Out of those of you who know RENT, it is about the year in a life of 8 friends in New York’s East Village, living in the world of contemporary problems consisting of drugs, AIDS/HIV, and overall struggle with life. I am huge fan of RENT and wanted to see if other shared the same opinion as I do, as to who the main character of RENT would be.
I think it’s Mark. He’s the closest thing to a narrator and all of the major characters are connected through him (except Mimi and Angel).
Mimi and Roger. The whole focus was on their love, I mean, like every other song was about their strife . and the last song? Your eyes? A song from Roger dedicated to Mimi
Well, all the characters have pretty equal parts. Roger and Mimi are pretty big, but I think the MAIN character is Mark, since he’s kind of telling the whole story (through his film-making). He also kind of keeps everything and everyone together. This is tough! They all contribute to the story so much!
