The Odd Couple Study Guide

The Odd Couple

The Odd Couple by Neil Simon

  • Oscar Madison : A slovenly, recently divorced sportswriter.
  • Felix Ungar : A fastidious, hypochondriac photographer whose marriage is ending.
  • Murray : A NYPD policeman, one of Oscar and Felix's poker buddies.
  • Speed : One of the poker buddies. Gruff and sarcastic, often picking on Vinnie and Murray.
  • Vinnie : One of the poker buddies. Vinnie is mild-mannered and henpecked, making him an easy target for Speed's verbal barbs.
  • Roy : One of the poker buddies. Oscar's accountant. Roy has a dry wit but is less acerbic than Speed.
  • Cecily and Gwendolyn Pigeon : Oscar and Felix's giggly upstairs neighbors, a pair of English sisters. The former is a divorcĂ©e, the latter a widow.
