| Sumario: | Having the melodrama as one of its main foundations, the telenovela functions as a privileged space of social problematizations, exploring subjects in suffering based on moral values, realistic appeal, and the possibilities of television language. In this context, drug addiction has been a frequent theme of these plots since the 1980s, including its internal and external consequences to addicts. This study proposes a reflection on the intrinsic relationship between soap opera, melodrama, and suffering associated with the experiences of drug addiction. We believe that this triad presents peculiarities that allow a deeper understanding of these narratives and the suffering that communicate and produce meanings, showing to be more elaborate, complex and in tune with social and moral changes and/or continuances that occurred throughout the history of the soap operas. |
