Beatrice!
Lady Macbeth
On reading the OP the first character to leap to mind was Macbeth, there is something to be said for such rich and powerful tragedy - At least my life would be interesting :D
You took mine! :( I would've chosen her because we are actually a lot alike.
Well, then. I suppose it would have to be Katherine from TTOTS. I would love to be a complete you-know-what all the time! The only thing is, though, I would absolutely refuse to allow some man to tame me!
(Unless, of course, he were Howard Keel in the musical version of this play, "Kiss Me, Kate" ;) ).
"an attendant lord, will do to swell a progress, start a scene or two"
This is a nice topic chasestalling !
As for me, I feel quite close to Friar Lawrence (though I'm not so proud of it:) )
Horatio or Kent (King Lear) as I admire low-key but absolute goodness. I love Horatio's erudition and Kent's fearless faithfulness. They show the suffering of absolute goodness in a wickedness but at the same time they save the world from being 'absolutely' evil with their presence. I'd be Horatio any day, My favourite Shakespearean character.
As unimaginative as it may sound, Juliet... despite her tragic demise, her tragedy is emminently beautiful, and the romantic side of me would like to enact that. As long as the death thing could be missed out.
Shylock... I would like to be able to deliver his monologues.
Feste for his wit
