Once character that really stands out to me in the play is Mercutio,Romeos cousin. I really like his tactics and feel he is more unique then any other character in the play. He takes things in a different matter, he really cares about Romeos well being but at the same time he's being forceful. He makes demands that romeo must follow to help Romeo overcome his heart brake.
here is a letter i think Mercutio would write to romeo if it was little more modern
Dear Romeo
You cant let love keep you down. you need to get back in the game, find a new lady. There are plenty more fish in the sea that you can chase after! I'm sick of seeing you moan every 5 minutes. You got rejected so what, you cant be depressed about this one girl forever! And if you ask me, she wasn't even that pretty...
There is a party soon and you should come...scratch that I'm MAKING you come. Some things need to be decided for you, im not going to let you be a party pooper! look i know you are going threw a really rough time, but who knows you might find the love of your life at the party! Meet me at the corner behind the market we'll meet there. we. are. going. to. that. party!!!!!!
Love Mercutio
I also think Mercutio will play a bigger part in the play then people reading the book might expect, he seem like a more violent type of person and it seems like he would do something devilish as long as it doesn't hurt Romeo and his fragile heart.
He is also not a Capulet or a Montague which in my opinion makes him a bit more special then other characters because it allows him to roam in both houses,
Over all i really like him as a character and in my opinion he's the most interesting person in the play!!!
