Meaty Paragraph

The one I think is responsible for Mercutio's death was both the Capulets and Montague. Because Mercutio's last word right before he died that was also repeated for multiple times after injured were, "a plague o' both houses!!" This shows that he is blaming the two feud families for his death, but he is  actually mainly talking about Romeo and Tybalt. What he is trying to say is that, if Romeo had never married, loved, or even met Juliet, which is a Capulet, but he is a Montague. This can be seen when Romeo said ,"and so , good capulets, which name I tender as dearly as my own, be satisfied"This shows that he wants to be a family with the enemies because Juliet is now his wife and she is part of the Capulet. Additionally, because he doesn't want to hurt anyone related to Juliet he also withdraws when Tybalt called him a villain, which was an insult back in a day and it was meant that fight was about to happen.This cause Mercutio's to fight Tybalt because he feels dishonorable for a man to walk away from an insult. Unfortunately, this caused him to get stab by Tybalt, too. Therefore, even though Tybalt had stab Mercutio if the Capulets and Montagues were never enemies, in the beginning, this day would probably never came, which was why they were both blamed and responsible for Mercurio's death.
