 Studying Romeo and Juliet, here's how you can analyze Makushio's Queen Mab's speech in Act 1, Scene 4. This scene opens with Romeo wondering what will happen if they are caught because they're heading to the Capulet Party. We can see these two questions show he's anxious that they're not supposed to be at this ball. Yet both Benvedio and Makushio dismiss Romeo's concern and we can see here in his caesura as well as this question, Makushio isn't that worried that they're going to get caught. Makushio then proceeds in this speech to mock Romeo who's still really lost sick over Osloi. Makushio here mocks Romeo for being visited by this fairy queen who makes men want things that they can't have. He uses Ascendance here to compare Queen Mab to a really tiny stone that wreaks a lot of havoc. Sibilance is used here as well as pathetic fallacy here to show that Queen Mab visits men in their dreams and makes them crave what they can't have. This metaphor shows that even if Queen Mab might give you what you want, it always comes with a sexual disease. Makushio shows that Queen Mab, like love, can bring us much misfortune.
