But in order to get into town, they have to pass by the cantankerous Mrs. Henry Lafayette Dubose, who shouts insults about their n***er loving father. Jem, who loses it over a particularly hateful insult, smashes all of Mrs. Dubose's flowers. As punishment, Jem has to read for her for two hours a day. After a month, he is told he is done. She dies a few days later. Jem learns that Mrs. Dubose was a morphine addict who wanted to die untethered to it. She leaves a camelia for Jem, and he begins to cry.
