What would be some creative titles that would describe Queen Mab's physical appearance, in the play "Romeo And Juliet"? I have to draw a picture...

Queen Mab has been a character before and after Shakespeare's
play. Her miniscule stature coupled with her ingenuity, strength and dramatic appearance make her
an ideal character to recreate visually.I offer two suggestions to assist your project: the frst
being the second line of Mercutio's spellbinding speech-

She is the fairies’

A second (and more developed)
idea would be to consider 'The Veil of Queen Mab'.


This refers to
the title of a short story by the Nicaraguan modernist Rubén Darío. The story
-



'explores the
artist's relationship with the world, as well as the beauty of artistic creation. The story
climaxes with Queen Mab enveloping the four artists in her veil, "el velo de los sueños, de los
dulces sueños, que hacen ver la vida del color de rosa" ("the veil of dreams, of sweet dreams,
that make the world appear rose-colored"). In this way, Queen Mab alleviates the artists'
sadness, giving them hope and allowing them to continue their creative
endeavors.'



I think when considering
the artistic nature of your assignment that this allusion would be an appropriate
one.
