Yes. Just because a hero is trained in a so - called 'evil' novel doesn't mean they can't have heroic qualities. They might have their own moral code and use the skills they've learned for good. For example, they could be trying to reform the evil system from within.
A few 'evil hero' novels are worth mentioning. 'Lolita' by Vladimir Nabokov has Humbert Humbert as a very controversial 'evil hero'. His love for the young Lolita is extremely immoral yet he is the central character of the story. 'The Great Gatsby' by F. Scott Fitzgerald can also be seen in this light. Gatsby is involved in illegal activities in his pursuit of Daisy, and while he has a certain charm, his actions are not entirely ethical. Also, 'Heart of Darkness' by Joseph Conrad features Kurtz, a man who has descended into a kind of moral abyss in the African jungle, but is still the focus of the story.
These novels can have a complex impact. On one hand, they can expose readers to different perspectives. In 'Gone Girl', the devious actions of the female lead make readers see the story from a more cynical angle. It can also make readers more empathetic as they try to understand the motives behind the 'evil hero's' actions. However, it can also be disturbing, especially when the actions of the character are extremely immoral like in 'American Psycho'. But overall, it broadens the readers' understanding of human nature.

Well, in 'the evil lady's hero novel', a possible theme is the exploration of moral ambiguity. The 'evil lady' might not be entirely bad, and the hero might not be completely good. This blurring of the lines between good and evil can be an interesting theme. Also, there could be a theme of self - discovery. Both characters could be on a journey to find out more about themselves through their encounters with each other.
I'm not sure which specific 'the evil ladys hero novel' you are referring to.
