Erik *doesn't* win, he *dies* at the end of the book. He may have redeemed himself (in a way) by letting Christine and Raoul leave, but that doesn't excuse his actions, nor does that make him a romantic hero.
I see Raoul as a brave character, but thrown into a situation where he's in way over his head.
