I think that bit in 'Goodbye Love' when Mark and Roger are singing at each other ("I hear there are great restaurants out west...") is probably the best insight we get to Mark's personality throughout the whole show. Okay, so Roger's pissed off and only really highlighting el negativeness but it truly truly is.
Heh, looks like Mimi got to Roger better than he realised. :) He's noticed that he's not really living life ('cos never going out and always being overly suspicious ain't really living) which probably makes him hyper-sensitive about other people not properly living either.
Really, all the characters learn to live throughout the show. Roger learns to love and live, Mimi learns to love and not have to take drugs (one assumes), Maureen and Joanne learn to live with each other, Benny learns to be a little more giving and not abandon his friends (and not to f*ck over his wife XD), Mark doesn't really put it into action because he learns so late in the show (he probably didn't even notice he wasn't properly living) but Mark in the finale has such a different tone to Mark throughout the show. He's learning and ready to start being himself and living. Collins and Angel... I guess they never really had anyone special before so that's what they learned about.
Egad, that was just going to be an ickle comment. O_O;;
