In this excerpt from shakespeare’s romeo and juliet, which line best shows that mercutio blames his death on the fighting between the capulets and the montagues? benvolio: what, art thou hurt? mercutio: ay, ay, a scratch, a scratch; marry, 'tis enough. where is my page? go, villain, fetch a surgeon. (exit page) romeo: courage, man; the hurt cannot be much. mercutio: no, 'tis not so deep as a well, nor so wide as a church-door; but 'tis enough, 'twill serve: ask for me to-morrow, and you shall find me a grave man. i i am peppered, i warrant, for this world. a plague o' both your houses! 'zounds, a dog, a rat, a mouse, a a cat, to scratch a man to death! a braggart, a rogue a villain, that fights by the book of arithmetic! why the devil came you between us? i was hurt under your arm. romeo: i thought all for the best. mercutio: me into some house, benvolio, or i shall faint. a plague o' both your houses! they have made worms' meat of me: i have it, and soundly too: your houses!
