Best Answer

Mercutio is expressing his anger at the Montagues and Capulets for having the feud which he is blaming for his death. Of course, Mercutio is neither a Montague nor a Capulet, and therefore the feud was not the cause of his death. The real cause of Mercutio's death was his belligerent nature. He sought out a quarrel with Tybalt and has reaped the reward of it. But he doesn't want to face that truth, so he keeps on cursing the feuding families in order to avoid facing it.
