He later finds out this helps her cope with her morphine addiction.Mrs. Dubose is a very sick and pretty mad old neighbor who lives two houses down from the Finches. She is a creepy and scary old woman who is used to yell bad things towards two innocent kids, Scout and Jem about how they'll arrive to absolutely nothing when they grow up. Coming from an adult, things like that are taken pretty badly by two children. Jem takes her abuse without answering until she says something mean about his father, Atticus. Then, what Mrs Dubose says finally gets to him. It didn't before, but Jem is really close to his father and can't take it anymore. One afternoon, while he was coming back at home, Jem takes Scout's new baton and cuts off all of Mrs. Dubose's camellia bush in her garden. Atticus sends him down to apologize to the old lady, and she asks Atticus several times that Jem reads to her for two hours every afternoon during an entire month. Jem is absolutely not happy about that punishment he was assigned to. Sadly he doesn't have any other options, so he does what she asked him to do and hates this annoying punishment. Just after his ''sentence'' ends, Mrs. Dubose dies right away and leaves Jem a single perfect camellia blossom. It was like a present she gave him to thank him after what he did. Atticus explains to his son that the scary Mrs. Dubose was in fact nothing else than a morphine addict, and that she died after she could at last finally free herself from her addiction.

Jem's judgement of Mrs Dubose plays a very significant role in making the reader apprehend her character properly. Mrs. Dubose treats Jem and Scout with a great deal of disrespect. Every time they pass her house while she is sitting on her verandah, she hurls criticisms and insults at them. She pushes Jem to his limits and causes him to destroy her most treasured possessions, her camellias. Atticus punishes Jem by making him read to Mrs Dubose every day for one month and Scout joins him. After Mrs. Dubose passed away, Atticus explains to his children that she was a morphine addict, and her goal was to stop taking it before she died. He made his children understand what the meaning of courage is. Mrs. Dubose is seen by Jem and Scout as an old and mean woman, but in reality, she is extremely brave and courageous.
