Aside: To Kill a Mockingbird famously had the character of Mrs. Henry Lafayette Dubose, a virulently racist morphine addict. Despite Mrs. Dubose's hatred of Atticus, he calls her the bravest person he ever knew. This is due to her resolve to break her addiction before her death, likely a horrifically painful experience due to her terminal cancer. In a book chock full of memorable people and events, these scenes still speak across the decades as the US struggles with the damnable effects of the Sacklers' unmitigated avarice. The book remains a must read to this day. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_To_Kill_a_Mockingbird_characters#Mrs._Henry_Lafayette_Dubose https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_To_Kill_a_Mockingbird_...
