The character of Mrs Dubose was very strong willed; she was addicted to morphin tablets and didn't have much time left to live, but she gave up the morphin tablets because she didn't like how they made her feel or act and didn't want to die addicted to morphin. If she kept taking the morphin, she wouldn't have died in so much agony, but she refused to keep taking it.
Her attitude and the way she treats people (especially children) seems to be extremely rude and hurtful. Her reason for this though, is that she's a morphin addict. No one knew this, so therefore people judged her and saw her as a mean, even though she had a reason for acting the way she did. It's just like what Atticus said, how you should never judge someone until you have walked in their shoes and I believe thats the situation that the people were in with Mrs Dubose.
I think if Mrs Dubose had lived longer and had a chance to, she could have improved and shown people how she really was.
