Why is Willie Loman a tragic hero?

Willy is a tragic hero because he has too much pride (the classic definition) and he cannot see the good in what he already has. He expects his sons to achieve certain goals, yet they cannot look to him and his goals as any kind of role model. He lives in a kind of fantasyland, not knowing how wonderful his family is, always wishing he had more, and lying about what happens to him as when he loses his job.
