This essay aligns Steve Schwarze's notion of melodrama with Richard B. Miller's call for "empathic indignation" and Louise Knops and Guillaume Petit's notion of indignation as "affective transformation" to argue that indignation is a key component of democratic melodramas designed to address social injustice. Using the controversy over military exercises in Vieques, Puerto Rico, which resulted in the withdrawal of the U.S. Navy from the island, the essay shows how empathy and indignation within melodrama can foster meaningful social change.
