In "Death of a Salesman," Howard Wagner is not a traditional villain, but he embodies the harsh realities of capitalism and corporate indifference. As Willy Loman's boss, Howard's focus on profit and productivity ultimately leads to Willy's dismissal, highlighting the lack of compassion in the business world. While he may not possess malicious intent, his actions contribute significantly to Willy's tragic downfall, making him an antagonist in the broader sense of the play's critique of society.
