It's a tricky one. Personally, I don't think you can say either way if he's a victim or a villain, because he's both. He's a very complicated character, the most complicated I have ever come across in Shakespeare's plays.
Your paper's probably done by now, but for anyone with a similar question, here's a debate on the subject from another forum:
