Willy was a nobody in this story, and that is why he is not the hero. So the answer is D. All of these> apex

Aristotle states that the tragic hero is someone whom we look up to, somone with stature who causes fear and pity when he/she falls. What Miller is doing in the play is to imbue Willy with stature, to show his basic human dignity and nobility, without the outer acouterments of social status. Miller's "Tragedy and the Common Man" explains his attempt to show the dignity of the people from the lower classes as equal to those of wealth and power.
