Heroes And Villians In Return Of The Native Many of the characters in The Return of the Native are deeply flawed, and exhibit many ambiguous motivations. However, sifting through their tragic mishaps, mistakes, misfortunes and stupidity, one can find that each character does have some trace of a distinct character type. The sympathetic character in the novel is Clym Yeobright, Damon Wildeve is the villain, and Diggory Venn and Eustacia Vye can both be considered the heroes in the novel, depending on who you talk to. One may proclaim Diggory to be a more worthy hero, citing his ability to always save Thomasin from too much trouble and his undying love to her. However, another might also say that Eustacia is the type of character in which most people can relate to, and is the most dramatic and well-written about character. She is the perfect example of the failure of humans to overcome what they were given, and she can be seen as a heroine for her persistence to escape it. Well-meaning, intelligent in certain ways, Clym Yeobright is not suited to life in the real world of his day. He dislikes city life as "effeminate," but when he returns to Egdon, no one understands his ambition to life, wildeve, eustacia, clym, diggory, thomasin, seems, novel, love, however, character, people, hardy, time, one, almost, though, side, perhaps, nature, damon, characters, been, because, yet, yeobright, women, while, villain, very, venn, sympathetic, society, slipping, returns, return
