Character Summary:

Mrs Dubose was an old, wheel-chair bound woman who lives with her maid, Jessie, two doors north from where Scout lives. She was a morphine addict and as result, she became cantankerous. The children did not like her as she is always bad-mouthing them and had even called Atticus a "nigger-lover" just because he was defending Tom Robinson, a black, in court then. She has moral courage, and was determined to break off from her addiction to morphine.
