Queen Mab Research Paper
MERCUTIO
Well dude, it sounds like Queen Mab visited you last night.

BENVOLIO
Queen who?

MERCUTIO
The great Queen Mab. She assists fairies when they give birth and is no bigger than the marble stone on a councilman’s ring. Her wagon is drawn by atoms, and she rides over men’s noses as they sleep. She uses spiders' legs as the spokes of her wagon, and the harnesses are made of the tiniest spiderwebs. The cover of her wagon is made of grasshoppers' wings and the collars on the atoms are made from moonbeams. Her whip is a cricket’s bone attached to a piece of thread, and her wagon driver is a tiny gnat wearing a gray coat, barely half the size of the tiny round worms that lazy young girls hold in their hands. She uses a hazelnut shell as a chariot - it was made by a carpenter squirrel or an old grubworm; they’ve made wagons for tiny fairies as long as anyone can remember! Queen Mab rides every night through the brains of lovers on this royal wagon and makes them dream about love. When she rides over courtiers' knees, they dream about curtsying. When she rides over lawyers' fingers, they instantly dream about their fees. She rides over the lips of women, and bam! They have dreams of kisses. But, Queen Mab might put blisters on their lips

You sound like an idiot. We aren’t five anymore - your stories need to be more convincing if you want us to believe them.

MERCUTIO
That, my friend, is the truest thing you have said all day. I think of dreams as, like, our brains turning on a mental television because it’s bored. Usually, they’re nothing but fake and meaningless - nothing but the imagination in our brain messing with us while we sleep. If I were to compare dreams to something, it would be the wind - unpredictable, also kinda like girls. See, sometimes they blow to the north and then suddenly they get angry and blow to the south.

ROMEO
Maybe your lack of knowledge on women is the reason why you can never get one.

    “If you commit the crime, you are guilty”(Rush Limbaugh). Even though not all crimes are reported to the police, crime rates have fallen since the early 1990’s. For example, the country of Honduras has the average highest murder rate at about 90 people per 100,000 people. The criminals that commit the crime are most likely going to lie to you. They may make up stories and pretend it was something else. Queenie Keithley is guilty because she left the country club 10 minutes early, she was in an argument with her husband, Joe, and the glass in Joe’s hand was not broken after he “fell” down the stairs.…

    Throughout history, women have been constantly viewed and treated as inferior to men. Throughout English history, there have been many female monarchs. Among these monarchs is Elizabeth I. Elizabeth’s predecessor was Mary I, who tried to restore England to Catholicism and was heavily disliked by her subjects. Elizabeth’s period of rule commenced during 1558 and lasted until 1603. Since Elizabeth I ensured that England stayed an Anglican country, she was greatly loved by her people and was able to earn respect as a ruler. However, since Elizabeth I was a female during a time where the idea of female inferiority was shared by the majority of people, she did not attain as much respect as a king would have. During Elizabeth’s reign, she used her…

    Elizabeth Bathory, a wealthy and powerful noblewoman, was born on August 7th, 1560, in Transylvania, Hungary. Nicknamed “The Blood Countess”, Elizabeth allegedly (as supposedly documented in her diary found in the Csejthe Castle) slaughtered six hundred and twelve women--servants, peasants, and maidens alike, to which she notoriously bathed in their blood believing it aided in maintaining her youthful, milky white complexion. Even if one were to take only a tenth of the number she was confirmed and perhaps even rumored to have killed--which would make it around sixty--this number would still record her as the world’s most prolific female serial killer.…

    I think that the explanation of the psychoanalytic theory of dreams is the best. We have all had dreams that are completely fantastical. There really is no purpose to them other than the fact that we, as the dreamer, think it would be fun to do. This theory makes dreaming an escape into a world where anything can…

    Queen Victoria is associated with Britain's great age of industrial expansion, economic progress, and especially, empire. At her death it was said, “Britain had a worldwide empire on which the sun never set” (Axelrod-Contrada 23). Queen Victoria set the tone of the British Empire for later monarchs by ruling through a series of powerful prime ministers who took political control of Britain. In the early part of her reign, two men influenced her greatly: her Prime Minister, Lord Melbourne, as well as her husband, Prince Albert, whom she married in 1840. Both men taught her much about how to be a ruler in a 'constitutional monarchy' where the monarch had very few powers but could wield much leverage. It was during Victoria's reign that the modern idea of the constitutional monarch, whose role was to remain above political parties, began to evolve. However, Victoria was not always non-partisan, and she would exploit opportunities to express her opinions, sometimes very forcefully, in private.…

    Elizabeth I once said, “A fool too late bewares when all the peril is past” (WEW). Elizabeth I was the queen of England from 1558 until 1603, and had a goal of preserving English peace and prosperity (RRR). She was one of the few female monarchs that believed in making England better while she was in power so she does not mull over it later on. The Elizabethan era was named after Elizabeth I, which lasted for 45 years. This era is considered to be a golden age in English history because it was a time of temporary peace and prosperity.…

    So what are dreams? Strictly speaking, dreams are images and imagery, thoughts, sounds and voices, and subjective sensations experienced when we sleep. This can include people you know, people you've never met, places you've been, and places you've never even heard of. Sometimes they're as mundane as recalling events that happened earlier in the day. They can also be your deepest and darkest fears and secrets, and most private fantasies. There's no limit to what the mind can experience during a dream and really no rhyme or reason to what you end up dreaming about. Stresses in waking life can manifest in dreams plainly or be cleverly disguised with imagery. For instance, a dream about a grizzly bear chasing you through your house could be the stress you feel about the relationship with a friend. A dream about being stuck inside of a room with no door might echo your feelings about a…
