The figure of the villain in this intense and complicated love story has become a polemic topic discussed by many different critics, whose final conclusions are not always the same. The violent, unexpected and sometimes incomprehensible actions carried out by the mysterious Heathcliff have led many readers and critics to consider him to be the villain par excellence of the novel. However, it should be noted that, despite all his evil actions, there is something that on the other hand turns him into the hero and sufferer of the story: his impossible love for Catherine Earnshaw. The narrator, Ellen Dean, has also been regarded by some critics as the devilish villain of the story, due to her capacity to control the other characters and most of the situations that take place over the course of her narration. In any case, what the reader must always bear in mind is that the perspective from which he or she looks at the story is the most important element to decide which character is the villain, since all of them –with the exception of the second Catherine and Hareton– can present villainous traits in their personalities and actions. Therefore, it is not possible to affirm that only one character is the real villain, because every single character can be regarded as such at some point, depending on the point of view from which the story is approached. 000015355 521__ $$aGraduado en Estudios Ingleses 000015355 540__ $$aDerechos regulados por licencia Creative Commons 000015355 700__ $$aHerrero Granado, María Dolores$$edir. 000015355 7102_ $$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bFilología Inglesa y Alemana$$cFilología Inglesa 000015355 8560_ $$f630176@celes.unizar.es 000015355 8564_ $$s123954$$uhttps://zaguan.unizar.es/record/15355/files/TAZ-TFG-2014-1067.pdf$$yMemoria (eng)$$zMemoria (eng) 000015355 909CO $$ooai:zaguan.unizar.es:15355$$pdriver$$ptrabajos-fin-grado 000015355 950__ $$a 000015355 980__ $$aTAZ$$bTFG$$cFFYL
