Queen Mab Analysis

Introduction: After his famous “Queen Mab speech,” Mercutio states that he is “talking about dreams, which are the products of a brain that’s doing nothing.  Dreams are nothing but silly imagination” (I.iv. 105-107).  He suggests that all desires and fantasies are nonsensical and fragile—corrupting to our mental stability.  

Directions:  Closely re-read Mercutio’s description of Queen Mab focusing on the imagery of his speech.  Choose at least four details to represent Queen Mab artistically.
