Doctor Harry is another character who attempts to care for Granny Weatherall despite her objections. He is fairly patronizing towards Granny, but this is arguably a natural reaction to her defiance, and because he knows how ill she truly is. Granny, however, describes him in very childlike terms. Though his actual age is unclear, she sees him as too young to warrant any respect from her.
