Mercutio teases Romeo using wordplay, puns, and metaphorical language to mock his lovesickness for Rosaline. He often uses humor and wit to challenge Romeo's infatuation and to urge him to be more lighthearted and carefree. Mercutio's playful use of language serves to both entertain and provoke Romeo, highlighting his own devil-may-care attitude towards love and life.
Romeo's friends Mercutio and Benvolio tease him about his unrequited love for Rosaline in Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet." They often mock Romeo for his lovesickness and obsession with Rosaline, which sets the stage for his eventual meeting with Juliet.
In Act I, scene iv of "Romeo and Juliet," Romeo is about to tell Mercutio about a dream that he had. Mercutio is quick to cut Romeo off and tell him about Queen Mab. According to Mercutio and the speech that he gives in this scene, Queen mab is the dream fairy -- she is the fairy who gives people their dreams and decides what they will dream about. There are several examples that are given within this speech -- for example women dream of kisses, priests dream of tithes, lawyers dream of money (fees), etc. Within this speech (toward the beginning) Mercutio also discusses how small this Queen Mab is.
Romeo's friends tease him about his infatuation with Rosaline, saying that he is being too dramatic and obsessed with love. They make fun of his poetic language and emotional outbursts, not understanding the depth of his feelings.
Mercurio teases Romeo because he is preoccupied with love for Rosaline and is neglecting his friendships. Mercurio uses light-hearted teasing to try to snap Romeo out of his lovesick mood and engage with his friends.
Tybalt 's nickname is 'Prince of Cats', so he is firstly referring to this. However, Mercutio also insults Tybalt's name, because it sounds like 'Tibbles'. Tibbles is a popular name for a cat (a rat-catcher.) He also calls him a cat in a derogatory term. Cat sounds remarkably like Cazzo in Italian. Romeo and Juliet is set in Italy. Cazzo means the male genitalia. its pronounced "CAT-so". <-(by adrienne) At the time Romeo And Juliet was written there was a popular story named ' reynard the fox' in which the cat was called 'Tibalt'. Mercutio uses this story to tease Tybalt with and continues to refer to Tybalt as a cat, therefore 'ratcatcher' <-(thesilenceRHIAN)

But she does, just not onstage. The nurse would not be able to take her message to Romeo in Act II Scene 4, nor have any reason to warn Romeo not to lead Juliet into a "fool's paradise" or "deal double" with her if she didn't know how Juliet cared for Romeo. Nor would she tease Juliet in Scene 5 by withholding Romeo's plan to marry her if she didn't know how desperately Juliet was waiting to hear just this news.
