Novice Romeo crazy about female — tragic hero (4,2,6)

I believe the answer is:

moor of venice

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'tragic hero' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'novice romeo crazy about female' is the wordplay.
'crazy' indicates anagramming the letters.
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'female' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'novice'+'romeo'='noviceromeo'
'noviceromeo' is an anagram of 'moorovenice'.
'moorovenice' enclosing 'f' is 'MOOR OF VENICE'.

Can you help me to learn more?
