Death of an addict. Boon or Bane?
Does the eradication of a morphine addict make the world a better place to live in?
Many might think so, but some might not. For the people of Maycomb country, those who knew the personality of Mrs Dubose might know that she is a little cranky. Her “past-time” was to shout, scream and scold passer-bys. However, people that have a close relationship with her might not think so.
“She is a courageous and strong old lady”, said by Mr. Atticus Finch during her funeral.
Autopsy have shown that Mrs. Dubose have died from a redrawal morphine addiction symptom. According to Mr. Atticus Finch, he answered that the reason why he believe Mrs. Dubose is a strong woman because she was willing to take the fits from the redrawal of morphine addict than to die with a corrupted body. She knew that her time was up and wanted to die drug free.
“Please show respect and give appropriate condolences to Mrs. Dubose,” Mr. Jem Finch told the reporters.
