Romeo and Juliet

Scene 4 · The Masked Guests Arrive

Summary

Romeo travels with Mercutio, Benvolio and masked companions to the feast, but he feels weighed down by love. Mercutio mocks his sadness and tells a wild story about Queen Mab. Romeo then admits that a troubling dream makes him fear the night ahead, yet he chooses to go.

Key Events

  1. Romeo refuses to dance with the maskers, saying his sorrow makes him too heavy to move and choosing instead to carry a torch.
  2. Mercutio teases Romeo about love and delivers a lively speech about Queen Mab, arguing that dreams come from idle fantasy.
  3. Romeo fears that the night’s revels will begin a fatal consequence “hanging in the stars,” but he chooses to go forward with the group.
