Because each person is different mentally and physically. We all tend to think "oh they choose it" when sometimes they become detached from what we call reality and see everything in a completely different way from us. While tragedy goes only goes so far it depends on just how depraved they became. Say for example if a character is raped and they became a disturbed person maybe even kills once in while one might not say it justifies their actions they can often say "while wrong I don't believe anyone should go through it" but if they became a mass or serial rapist it means despite going through it themselves the individuals basically say "so what?" and not only cause the same pain but use what would normally give sympathy as nothing but a petty way to justify.

Carries was mentally and physically tormented non stop till she eventually snapped. I always took it as at the time in the school of unable to tell what was real and fantasy as it seems she imagined in one version people laughing when they weren't. It doesn't help that she isn't portrayed as heartless but insecure and possibly mentally unstable. This is topped off with being a underdog who later is heavily implied if not directly stated to feel true remorse.

Mr. Freeze despite not having to kill all he did is portrayed as a man who wants to save his wife no matter the cost and after a strange accident ends up unable to live a normal life. He's condemned to never be able to do what we take for granted. He is unable to enjoy a summers day, a nice walk in forest without it being winter as in some versions unable to age. He's portrayed in a light he isn't out to just hurt people but trying to save the person he cared for and following some version I believe the only person who's shown him true compassion before the accident though he got some sympathy from others like Batman.

Some is matter of how it's presented and interpreted. What I might find tragic you or another person might not but those two are often thought tragic I presume due to the reasons I gave and maybe some other reasons I am unaware of.
