Characters of Romeo and Juliet

Out of many characters of the play Romeo and Juliet, the most interesting character for me is Mercutio. Mercutio is a best friend of Romeo, who is funny, intelligent, and a relative of the Prince. By the descriptions, Mercutio seems like a friend who would always help Romeo out when he needed him, cheers him up when he is depressed, and always fun to be around with. In Act 1, scene 4, when Romeo talks about his dream that he had on the way to Capulet's party, Mercutio sort of makes fun of him by telling him that dreams mean nothing. He speaks a long speech about the Queen of Mab, and makes a joke. It was never written in the play, but I could assume that Mercutio was trying to cheer Romeo up and put him in a better mood. Mercutio would look like a person who has a funny natural expression on his face. It'd be just fun to be around with him, or actually be a close friends with him since I know what kind of a friend he would be like by his relationship with Romeo.

Mercutio reminds me of a close friend that I had(have), Keon-ho Kim, back in Korea. He was always fun to be around with and was also a great friend who gave me good advices. Just like Mercutio, he made funny jokes, made me laugh, helped me when I needed a help, and was a great friend of mine.

Mercutio: If love be rough with you, be rough with love.

Even though my friend and I never talked about how love is being rough with me, he certainly gave me good advices on other things. Just like Mercutio and Romeo, him and I were great friends who helped each other out.
