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
"Then I feel, Harry, that I have given away my whole soul to someone who treats it as if it were a flower to put in his coat, a bit of decoration to charm his vanity, an ornament for a summer's day"
Oscar Wilde [The Picture of Dorian Gray]
You took mine!I would like to play Beatrice from Much Ado about NothingI'd enjoy the witty banter of her and Benedick.
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"
Voices mysterious far and near,
Sound of the wind and sound of the sea,
Are calling and whispering in my ear,
Whifflingpin! Why stayest thou here?
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.
"The farther he goes the more good it does me. I don’t want philosophies, tracts, dogmas, creeds, ways out, truths, answers, nothing from the bargain basement. He is the most courageous, remorseless writer going and the more he grinds my nose in the sh1t the more I am grateful to him..."
-- Harold Pinter on Samuel Beckett
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.
"The magic gave me insight, and you gave me a heart, but for all the heart and insight in the world, I am still a cat."
Yeah, not to mention the fact of his failure to preform.
Shylock... I would like to be able to deliver his monologues.

Shylock is fun....I got to perform two of his monologues spliced together (from 1.3 and 3.1).
I wrote a poem on a leaf and it blew away...
Thank God, I will never have a future husband!!! Unless he is Macbeth
