What flowers get mentioned in To Kill a Mockingbird?

Answer 1

Camellias are the flowers which Mrs. Dubose likes in "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Nelle Harper Lee (b. April 28, 1926).

Specifically, the precise camellia variety is not mentioned. But it well may have been the highly prized Japanese camellia (Camellia japonica), which had been introduced in the early 19th century into the United States of America and which particularly flourished in the Alabama's sunny, warm climate. In fact, it became Alabama's official state flower on August 26, 1959.

Answer 2

In "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, flowers like camellias, azaleas, and roses are mentioned as being part of the landscape in Maycomb. These flowers are typically associated with Southern gardens and add to the setting of the story.

Answer 3

In To Kill a Mockingbird, Jem cuts the tops off of every camellia bush in Mrs. Dubose's yard. He was very mad at her because she called Atticus a name which pushed him over the edge. See chapter 11.

Answer 4

The symbolic meaning of Mrs. Dubose's flowers, specifically the one she gave Jem, is that it was her way of saying a "thank you" or "forgive me" for my behavior. She wants to tell him indirectly that she appreciates his help from distracting her from her fits and she knew she only had a few months left and wanted to rest in peace. She doesn't want Jem to feel like she has a grudge against him. Atticus also says that she is the most courageous person he's ever met. Mrs. Dubose demonstrated real courage. (:
