Romeo uses sarcasm in his joke made in the first line, therefore, the words that most characterizes the dialogue is 'jest'. 'Jest' could be interpreted as a joke that actually bothers the person receiving the comment. The entire dialogue revolves around the first line that was a 'jest', hence, that is the keyword that describes the mood in the dialogue since is used to define Romeo's sarcastic joke.
