There are few puns in Romeo and Juliet. For example, a pun in Romeo and Juliet is when Shakespeare writes a conversation between Sampson and Gregory.

A pun is a play on words usually they are meant to be funny. An example in Romeo and Juliet is when Romeo and Mercutio are talking

Mercutio: That dreamers often lie

Romeo: In bed asleep while they dream things true

The pun here is on the word lie Mercutio says lie meaning not telling the truth but Romeo says lie meaning lying down
