∙ 7y agoHe doesn't, really. He says it three and a half times, and on one of these occasions he goes so far as to say "A plague o' both your houses! They have made worms' meat of me." Well, so he blames the Montagues and Capulets for his death, but there is no explanation of why. In fact, earlier he appears to blame Romeo for his death when he says, "Why the devil came you between us? I was hurt under your arm." Basically he is randomly throwing blame around to avoid admitting the truth--that he had no business getting into a fight with Tybalt in the first place.

Where is the most common location for plaque development?
Plaque in your arteries is very bad - it can contribute to clots, which in turn can cause heart attacks, loss of blood flow to muscles, or other health conditions. There is not one place in the body where this type of plaque is most common. Any plaque in the arteries, no matter where it is, can cause problems. Plaque closer to the heart can cause more fatal problems than, say, plaque in the legs.
