 Studying William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet? Let's discuss Makushia's infamous Queen Mab speech. In Act 1 scene 4, when Romeo said he had a dream, Makushia says, oh then I see Queen Mab have been with you. Now Queen Mab is a reference to in English folklore the Queen of the Fairies. She's good but also mischievous. He uses accents to describe she comes in shape no bigger than a gate stone and a gate stone means just a small tiny gemstone. She's described as galloping night by night and the repetition of the pathetic fallacy night shows that she comes at a time when people are basically dreaming of having sex and she misguides them. He lists all the people Queen Mab deceives, lovers, courtiers, lawyers, ladies and this of course shows that he doesn't genuinely believe in real love. Queen Mab not only deceives them into falling in love but she also leaves them with plagues which is a metaphor for sexual disease. This declarative sentence shows Makushia is really dismissive of Romeo thinking he's all in love. He's saying that it's Queen Mab that visited him.
