When does mercutio mention queen mab?

Answer 1

In Act I, scene iv of "Romeo and Juliet," Romeo is about to tell Mercutio about a dream that he had. Mercutio is quick to cut Romeo off and tell him about Queen Mab. According to Mercutio and the speech that he gives in this scene, Queen mab is the dream fairy -- she is the fairy who gives people their dreams and decides what they will dream about. There are several examples that are given within this speech -- for example women dream of kisses, priests dream of tithes, lawyers dream of money (fees), etc. Within this speech (toward the beginning) Mercutio also discusses how small this Queen Mab is.

Answer 2

mercutio mentions queen mab, in Act I, scene 4, which is also the first scene you meet him. This scene is Mercutio, Benvolio and Romeo on their way to the Montague ball, and Mercutio says his speech in an attempt to try and tease Romeo out of his melancholy humor, as Romeo is feeling sad due to his unrequited love from Rosalind.

Answer 3

This speech shows Mercutio's cynical and maveric nature. He does not value love or honour or dreams and through Queen Mab (quean and mab being Elizabethean words for prostitute) he mocks the value others place on dreams. mercutio's description of Queen Mab begins with a delightful image, which would appeal to children, yet he then goes on to show how all people dream of things merely to improve their own position. The references to the body show the physical realities of life as opposed to the ideals that Romeo and others hold high. This speech shows much about the firey spirit of Mercutio, but it also suggests a more brutal and realistic view of life, contrasting with the ideals of love.
