Is Heathcliff A Hero Or Villain?

In the novel, Heathcliff's purpose was to get revenge for Catherine's death. He was viewed as a villain for mistreating his family/visitors, but it was all for a reason. Near the end of the novel, Heathcliff changed. He forced Linton and Cathy to marry each other. For example, he tricked the couple into his home and wouldn't let them go until they agreed to marry each other. But, all Heathcliff wanted was the property. Heathcliff also did not want to die alone, so he bought out the sexton to bury him next to Catherine's body, so if they visited her, Heathcliff would not be alone. Ever since that plot he was viewed as evil. However, his search for justice was never complete; due to thr fact that his life felt purposeless
