Romeo and Juliet Why does Mercutio make fun of Romeo? Asked by bookragstutor on 28 Nov 08:47 Last updated by anonymous on 26 Dec 00:13
Because Romeo, who has earlier been bemoaning the fact that Rosaline does not love him, is now telling Mercutio that he's found his one true love. Mercutio is calling him fickle (and making crass sexual jokes as well).
