In Emily Bronte’s novel‚ Wuthering Heights‚ Heathcliff is the villain because he is frustrated about his unrequited love for Cathy. Heathcliff’s villainy is apparent in how he treats the Earnshaws‚ degrading Hindley and Hareton just as Hindley did him. This is also shown in his actions against the Lintons. Heathcliff

Johnny Friendly‚ the corrupt leader of the Hoboken Waterfront 1950s‚ New York is mostly depicted as a cliched gangster in the film On the Waterfront.
