Ravan from Valmiki's Ramayana right? Well, abducting someone else's wife is not a good thing to do. Also he made death threats to Sita if she refused to become his wife after a certain amount of time. He was extremely proud of his strength (yes, which he had a lot of, no doubt), but vanity in its extreme is what led to his downfall (he refused time and again to surrender to Rama). But I personally think every person has both good and evil (though Ravan was probably more evil than good). Ravan was very devout (he did intense tapasya and prayers for boons and in general) and he didn't stop Vibheeshana from joining Rama's camp. If he didn't have so much vanity and pride he may have actually been a quite a good person, as he would have conceded to Rama and admitted his mistakes.

The only "good" thing about Ravana was his dedication to austere yogic practices. However, the intention was still impure (i.e. to obtain weapons and powers from the gods).
