Dubose has two sides to her just like Calpurnia. One of Mrs. Dubose sides is that she is an elderly woman that does not like colored people. She does not like colored people because of the way she grew up not liking them. Another side of her is an elderly woman who battles her addiction to morphine. Jem takes her abuse until she says something mean about Atticus, and that finally gets to him. That afternoon on his way back from town Jem takes Scout's new baton and breaks off all the blossoms of Mrs. Dubose's camellia bush. Atticus sends him down to apologize to her and she insists that Jem read to her for two hours every afternoon for a month. He does it and hates every minute of it. Not long after his sentence ends, Mrs. Dubose dies and leaves Jem a perfect camellia blossom. Atticus explains that she was a morphine addict, and she died after freeing herself from her addiction. Atticus considers her one of the bravest people he knows and he wanted Jem to see that about her to. All in all those are just two themes of this amazing story that is not over
