The Vamp Trope - Everything a Woman "Shouldn't" Be

The Vamp is as evil as she is beautiful. A cousin of the femme fatale, she emerged from a pre-code era when antagonists didn’t need sympathetic backstories to give them some humanity. Her desire for money, or power, is insatiable, and makes her one of culture’s most alluring villains. But very rarely does the vamp win, and quite often she’s balanced out by another, less vivacious female character. The fact that The Vamp has obtained power from her beauty is at the core of why she is such a villain. The Vamp embodies exaggerated versions of all the things women are told they can’t be, and eventually, she’s punished for it.
