A heroes Journey video explanation
Heroes in literature often have the purpose of teaching us lessons we can apply in our daily lives as people. We can put ourselves in their shoes by examining their situations in the book and what they do to overcome it. Their characteristics make us see our flaws and they act as a mirror in which we can reflect upon what can we do better. Each one of us can relate to a character in a book , to the point where we can feel some sort of connection and it reminds us of ourselves and our struggles. It is here when the role of a hero has completed its purpose.

"a villain is a victims story who hasn't been told" - Chris Colfer
people can also find a connection with a villain because they can also play the role of a hero
