Harper Lee teaches us that real courage comes from inside, not just "a man with a gun in his hand". When we are young, we think courage is only a physical concept, such as Jem touching the side of the scary Radley house, or Atticus shooting a mad dog. However, as we grow up, we learn that there are some things that require a moral type of courage and strength, such as Mrs Dubose giving up a morphine addiction, or Atticus taking on a court case he knew was doomed. Both Mrs Dubose and Atticus were determined to see things through to the end.

Real courage is "when you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what".
