why was Jem angry with Mrs.Dubose
In Chapter Eleven, Mrs. Dubose yells to Jem that he broke Miss Maudie's grape arbor that morning, which is untrue, and yells at Scout for wearing overalls. Then she starts yelling at them about how Atticus is defending "niggers," and says that Atticus is no better than "the trash he works for." Jem is angry at Mrs. Dubose for what she said about his father.
