My favorite Romeo & Juliet character

My favorite character is Mercutio, because he is a very imprudent and impulsive character who gives more action to the play and a little fun than the others. Moreover, I really like him because he speaks with no impediments and he fights when its needed. In the notes of the book I read, the adaptation guy explains that Shakespeare needed to kill Mercutio, because he was taking a bigger role than main characters and I absolutely agree. Now, in the movie “Romeo + Juliet”, Mercutio’s character is totally different than the one I imagined, but I really admire the work of Harold Perrineau because he gave a very different perspective and point of view, that even he was a little bit kitsch, I really enjoyed his work.
