Since the publication of the book, Heathcliff has been the subject of controversy and discussion, but no one has offered a convincing justification for his image. There is still no clear consensus on whether Heathcliff is a victimized hero or a figure with dark, cruel undertones. The Heathcliff persona is used in this research paper as a metaphor for how society may ruin a person's inherent goodness. His persona is a representation of a steadfast love story, a scathing critique of society, and an insightful and incisive investigation of people. This research paper aims to explore the multifaceted character of Heathcliff, examining his origins, motivations, and actions throughout the novel, to determine whether he should be perceived as a villainous figure or a complex protagonist deserving of empathy.
