When Harry Met Sally: Character Breakdown

Harry Burns
Harry is talkative, challenging, and fun. He goes on seemingly endless rambles about his worldview and beliefs. He feels very strongly about certain subjects (the ability for women and men to be friends) and often times he is right. He does not sugar coat his opinions for the sake of others. He desperately tries not to be like everyone else. He is very strong and abrasive. The faint hearted would have a hard time being friends with him and he likes that. Harry is either loved or hated.

Sally Albright
Sally know what she wants and how she wants it. She is an expert at ordering food with very particular requirements. She does not conform to others desires and has bold reassurance in her opinions. She can be very patient with her friends. Her one friend is having an affair with a married man and Sally continues to stand by her friend even though she has told her countless times that the man will not leave his wife. Sally does not concern herself with what people think of her. She publicly fakes an orgasm in a restaurant simply to prove that she is right. That kind of display takes confidence and self assurance. Sally is not afraid to change her views. At first, she does not want a family but then she sees a family and realizes that she was wrong. Sally has some quirks but she is independent, intelligent, and a pleasure to be around.
