My biggest challenge will be to play the totally submissive woman. It takes a toll on you when you play someone who's far removed from your personality.
People are fascinated by evil because it's mysterious and it doesn't seem to have a rationale behind it, and the second you say that Hannibal Lector was abducted as a child and he had to eat his sister or something like that, it becomes immediately mundane. The character becomes mundane.
A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.
