This passage, better known as Queen Mab is an important passage in Romeo and Juliet as otherwise Romeo would never have been shamed into going to the party and such he would never have met Juliet. Then there is no story. Then there is only depressed Romeo not suicidal for a girl I just met Romeo. This statement by Mercutio had the intention of showing Romeo how stupid he is and making him come and had no ill will for Romeo from Mercutio although. This foreshadows Romeo's death as he had dreamed it would come from this party as in the end it does. This also reveals Mercutio believes having fun is more important than safety and he is never cautious.
