It's the way they're played in those circumstances that makes them tragic. The people who have been through similar or worse incidents... ultimately, they didn't let the tragedy affect them and they turned evil out of their own express will. Carrie and Darth Vader, on the other hand, were pushed into becoming evil through a series of tragic circumstances and this is played sympathetically.
