Anger fades following tense drama (9)
I believe the answer is:
tragedies
'anger fades following tense drama' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'anger fades following tense' is the wordplay.
'anger' becomes 'rage' (rage is a kind of anger).
'fades' becomes 'dies' (I've seen this in another clue).
'following' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'tense' becomes 't' (grammatical abbreviation).
'rage'+'dies'='ragedies'
'ragedies' put after 't' is 'TRAGEDIES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tragedies that I've seen before include "Catastrophes, disasters" , "Emotion-inducing events" , "dramatic works" , "Hamlet' and 'King Lear' perhaps" .)
