This is a question right out of the archive, and I suppose it depends on whose side you are on, and what interpretation you actually put on the Prisoner-No.6. As McGoohan once put it;
"Well, I didn't initially say, "This hero," but he grew into one, I hope, in the sense that he was rebelling against the evil forces against him.
John Drake was a hero wasn't he, certainly he was my boyhood hero. But not a rebel, that didn't actually take effect until after his abduction and subsequent arrival in the village.
Yes, he resigned, but that didn't make him a rebel! And as to No.6 being a hero to anyone.... well we can't all go around behaving like him now, can we?
