I just learned this word from my lecturer today. It is an adjective.It describes a person who is able to suffer pain or trouble without complaining or showing what they are feeling. Some people in this world  are like MRS.DUBOSE too. They need to battle with their pains too. Mrs.Dubose is very sick but she refuse to take morphine. She is afraid that she'll addicted to it. She suffers her pain alone. Moreover,people misunderstand her. They thought she is not a nice person to approach with. They don't know. They DON'T KNOW that when a human with a timed-boom in their body will get angry easily. They're very emotional because......they don't know how to express their pains. For instance, when a female is having menstruation. She will becomes very fussy. So, the patient will also having the same situation like that. This is because they are having something inside them and they're worried about that. Apart from that, Mrs.Dubose does not tell to anyone that she is having a health problem. She does not want to seek for emphaty from people. She is so brave and she is having a very strong will.



It's a sad story.
