True Blood Queen Mab Biography
Queen Mab is a fairy referred to in Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet. She later 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 written originally in prose and often adapted into iambic pentameter, in which she is described as a miniature creature who drives her chariot into the noses and into the brains of sleeping people to compel them to experience dreams of wish-fulfillment. She would also "plague" "ladies' lips" "with blisters", which is thought a reference to the plague or to herpes simplex. She is also described as a midwife to help sleepers 'give birth' to their dreams. She may be a figure borrowed from folklore, and though she is often associated with the Irish Medb in popular culture and has been suggested by Thomas Keightley (historian) to be from Habundia[1], a more likely origin for her name would be from Mabel and the Middle English derivative "Mabily" (as used by Chaucer)[2] all from the Latin "amabilis"
Mab appeared as the main antagonist in the 1998 fantasy mini-series, Merlin. She is portrayed as a cruel, power-hungry, somewhat sociopathic goddess and the twin sister of the Lady of the Lake.[citation needed] She is mentioned in the movie Fairy Tale as the fairy queen.[citation needed]
In the 1996 film Romeo + Juliet, she takes the form of an ecstasy-like drug.[citation needed]
In season four of HBO's original series "True Blood", Queen Mab is a new recurring character portrayed by Rebecca Wisocky.
Though the Disney cartoon Gargoyles was canceled before Queen Mab could appear, creator Greg Weisman says that she is the mother of the series' version of Oberon and would eventually have been an antagonist had the show continued.
