Hello how does classified fit within the logic of the sentence? If it is used as a synonym for ‘understand/identify’ the villain immediately, then it doesnt make sense that the audience would ‘hiss’ the villain. Thanks!

If everybody can hiss the villain then the characters are categorized , also in dramas as roles are fixed thus people can hiss the villain (as their role is fixed as the bad guy ) and thus we’re saying we are morally superior to them.
