Essay topics

I have chosen the topic below:
"D) Mercutio is often considered one of Shakespeare's best characters and yet he is killed quite early in this play. Discuss how the relationships Mercutio is in influence his behaviour/choices, and discuss WHY you think so many people (including me) find him interesting and pleasure to watch/read. What do you think Shakespeare would say about his character Mercutio? Would he like him? Would he think he was brave, honourable, immature, ignorant, or wise?"

I chose this topic because I felt everyone would do A or B, and this one really interested me. I think that I chose this because Mercutio is an interesting character, he's not in love or focused on love like most of the people.  I also feel people find him interesting because he's a realist, and neither a Montague or Capulet. He's a crazy person who parties, and fights, doesn't believe in fate.
However I think I can dig deeper into the character of Mercutio and am interested to learn more about the connection between him and the audience.

The second topic I wanted to do was C.

C) Shakespeare often uses characters to summarize the play for the audience (who were often illiterate and inebriated) both at the beginning and the end of the play. Often these characters provide insight into what may be the author's personal position on the topic/theme of the play. Which character in Romeo and Juliet do you think best represents William Shakespeare's possible thoughts on love and relationships? Provide quotes and explanations of your choice, as well a connections to research about Shakespeare's life as a play writ and the complications that provided in sharing his opinions.
