C
Atticus tells Jem that she was a morphine addict, and the whole moral was around the part where Atticus says something along the lines of "She was the bravest person I ever met," because earlier in the book, Atticus shot down a dog with one shot and his children found out that he was a dead shot, so they thought he was very brave. This contradicts their views of Mrs Dubose who was a weak old lady that hated pretty much the whole world - the reason that Atticus says she was the bravest person he ever met was because although she was going through an addiction to the painkillers, she gradually came off them as Jem was reading to her to actually distract her from the pain. In the end, she died no longer a morphine addict, but as a woman who had beaten her illness.
