Yes! I think that's what I'm trying to say. I remember the villains better, probably because they don't fit the stereotype of what woman 'should' be.
A lot of people read Lady Macbeth as the villain, but they don't look at her motivation, circumstance or indeed history, where woman had little power except their voice.
They are the characters that stick with you, because they are defiantly outside what is expected.
Game of Thrones has a few of those as well.
