queen mab
"A dream is a wish your heart makes," according to Cinderella. Are dreams and fairytales an idealistic notion, or are they actually conceivable? In the play, Romeo and Juliet, Romeo's best companion, Mercutio makes a speech reflecting upon the essence of dreams and fantasy. Basically, it provides a brief comic relief through its mocking tone towards Romeo's latest infatuation. Romeo is obsessed with Rosaline who barely knows of his existence. Mercutio gibes Romeo through his famous monologue, which provides explicit imagery. Romeo remarks that he had a dream and Mercutio adds that he also had a dream. In Mercutio's description of his dream the readers grasps a distinct image of Queen Mab, a fairylike figure who exploits and changes the dreams of people to those of mischief and materialism. Mercutio's perception of Queen, the true nature of his character and the fact that dreams is the product of "routine thoughts of the day" are exposed and represented through this one monologue. 1.Mercutio presents the image of Queen Mab very clearly, and his perception of her is strange and interesting. 2.Touted "the fairies mid-wife", Queen Mab possesses a name which is already ironic due to it
