Mrs. Dubose lives near the Finch home. She regularly yells at the children and has little patience with them. Scout says they "could do nothing to please her." Mrs Dubose is described as a vicious by Scout. Atticus described her as old and sick, reminding his children to mind their manners. In the end, we find out that Mrs. Dubose is terminally ill and addicted to morphine. Jem helps her overcome her addiction before she dies.
