Queen Mab is a fairy referred to in William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, where "she is the fairies' midwife". Later, she appears in other poetry and literature, and in various guises in drama and cinema. In the play, her activity is described in a famous speech by Mercutio published originally in prose and often adapted into iambic pentameter, in which she is a miniature creature who performs midnight pranks upon sleepers. Being driven by a team of atomies, she rides her chariot over their noses and "delivers the fancies of sleeping men". She is also described as a midwife to help sleepers "give birth" to their dreams. Later depictions have typically portrayed her as the Queen of the Fairies.

  • Η Bασίλισσα Μαμπ είναι μέρος της βρετανικής και κέλτικης (ιρλανδικής) παράδοσης και είναι η βασίλισσα των νεράιδων. Πρόκειται για ένα χαρακτήρα παιχνιδιάρικο που κάνει αταξίες από τη μία, αλλά από την άλλη είναι πολύ καλή. Στο "Ρωμαίος και Ιουλιέτα" έχει το ρόλο μιας μαίας νεράιδας. Εκεί αναλαμβάνει να απαλλάξει από τις βαθιές επιθυμίες τους και να τις πραγματοποιήσει με τη μορφή ονείρων. Στο διάσημο ποίημα του Nymphidia (1627), η Μαμπ είναι η σύζυγος του βασιλιά Όμπερον και βασίλισσα άλλων νεράιδων. Απεικονίζεται σαν ξωτικό νεράιδα στα έργα των , Μπεν Τζόνσον και Τζον Μίλτον. Κάποια στιγμή αντικαταστάθηκε από την . (el)
  • En el folclore inglés, la Reina Mab (Queen Mab) es un hada. Fue memorablemente descrita en un discurso en Romeo y Julieta como una criatura en miniatura que conduce su carro a través de las caras de personas durmientes y les obliga a soñar y a cumplir sus deseos. Ruben Darío es otro de los autores que hace referencia a ella, y que tiene una fuerte influencia de Garcilaso, el cual de manera inconsciente también habló de ella. (es)
  • Mab est la fée des songes et la sage-femme des autres fées dans les traditions anglaises du Moyen Âge. Quelques-uns en font la reine des fées et lui donnent pour époux Obéron. Dans la littérature anglaise, Chaucer et Shakespeare (dans Roméo et Juliette) ont donné de cette fée et de sa cour des descriptions fort poétiques. Le poète romantique anglais Percy Shelley compose en 1813 un poème, Queen Mab, qui le fait connaître. En France, George Sand compose en 1832 une ballade intitulée La Reine Mab. (fr)

  • La regina Mab è la fata del dramma di Shakespeare Romeo e Giulietta, che appare anche in altre opere della letteratura del XVII secolo, e successivamente in varie forme nella poesia, nella drammaturgia e nel cinema. Nel dramma è citata in un famoso discorso di Mercuzio, nel quale è descritta come una creatura in miniatura che guida un carro sulle persone addormentate e le conduce in un sogno di autocompiacimento. In alcuni casi era ritenuto che fosse portatrice di pestilenze. Da questo personaggio prende nome un satellite di Urano, Mab. (it)
  • クイーン・マッブ、クイーン・マブ、女王マブ(Queen Mab)は、ウィリアム・シェイクスピアの戯曲『ロミオとジュリエット』等で言及されている妖精(妖精の女王)であり、古代からケルト等の西欧神話で「夢を司る妖精」「妖精の助産師」とされている。 (ja)
  • Mab är en älvdrottning i William Shakespeares pjäs Romeo och Julia. Drottning Mab är ett annat namn på keltiska mytologins älvdrottning Oonagh. Shakespeare har influerat engelska författare så de använder också Mab som namn på älvdrottningen, bland annat hos Percy Bysshe Shelley. Troligen densamma som återkommer hos Edmund Spenser som The fairy queen. Namnet Mab förekommer också i bokserien "Throne of glass" skriven av författaren Sarah J Maas. I boken har en av de uråldriga älvdrottningarna namnet Mab, där är hon den äldsta och en av de kraftfullaste älvorna i boken. (sv)
