Why does it seem like every book I read in English class is a tragedy?

It seems like all of the novels/plays I have read in my English class for the past few years all seem to be tragedies (book with sad endings).
For example-
Romeo and Juliet
Oedipus Rex
Antigone
The Scarlet Ibis
All Quiet on the Western Front
Julius Caesar (by Shakespeare)
Night (by Elie Wiesel)
Why is this so? Are sad books inherently better at teaching people about English?
