“I want to die, Rayford. And I don’t want to be forgiven or go to heaven to be with God or any of that stuff. But I will fight this poison, I will work with Floyd, I will do whatever I have to do to stay alive long enough to kill that man. I have to get healthy, and I have to somehow get to where he is. I’ll probably die in the process with all the security he’s got. I don’t care. As long as I get to be the one who does it.”
Even if it’s just for a single book, I demand to get a Hattie revenge story. This is the kind of actualization and agency none of the other characters have been afforded. I just need *somebody* to be an active character.
