One of my favorite characters on Romeo in Juliet is Mercutio. I wouldn't say he's my favorite, it's more that i am so incredibly intrigued and interested in him. In the book he's described as a dreamer and in real life, I'm always interested in people like him, "Dreamers" if you will. I feel the way they speak and express their ideas. For example, in Romeo and Juliet even though it is all very poetic, there is something so moving and exciting about Mercutio's lines. When he is talking about Queen Mab, it almost feels like a song.
He reminds me of one of my very close family friends. He can go on and on about a subject for hours and always have something new to say about it once he's exhausted one idea and it never seems to get boring. I feel like if you don't follow his thoughts one by one, and really pay close attention it so easy to get lost and miss so much of what he says.
The other thing I love about people like this is just watching them talk. The way their eyes go crazy when something i exciting or they are mad. Then how still and calm they can be when talking about something of great importance to them. And when they are thinking so hard about how to express what they are trying to say and you can feel the thoughts rushing through their minds picking out words that fit so perfectly. To me it is completely fascinating and i often picture Mercutio much like this.
