Are you going to talk about Isabella, too? And Kate? Or are you going to say they're more defined by men? In Isabella's case I would argue that her characterization lampshades that kind of characterization-by-association, and assumptions about women not having power and agency under a variety of circumstances. Not sure what I think about Kate, and I'm only halfway through S3.
And of course, quite rightly for a medieval setting, male characters are also defined through their relationships. LIKE GUY. He pretty much doesn't exist as an independent entity. And Much, and maybe we can argue Allan, although like Isabella, he's pretty self-aware and calculating about it.
