Are we talking about characters we're supposed to hate, as in they're written to be hated? Or are we talking about characters that are clearly not intended to be hated, but are hated just the same?

I hated Baron Vladimir Harkonnen from Dune, but he was a wonderfully loathsome character. I was supposed to hate him.

I hated the living shit out of John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, but that was because Ayn Rand is a raving narcissistic moron.
