Who is in the Montague family?

Tybalt sends a letter to the Montague household. We learn that from Benvolio when he says to Mercutio "Tybalt, the kinsman of old Capulet, hath sent a letter to his father's house"(II, iv, 6-7) Who Benvolio means by "his father's house" is Romeo's father's house who is Montague and why Tybalt sends the letter to Montague because is to challenge Romeo in a fight.


Who is Escalus in romeo and Juliet?

The prince states that hes got MONTAGUE IN HIS BLOOD, so he's a Montague. Actually the prince does not say that he has "Montague in his blood" at all. He does say: "Capulet, Montague, see what a scourge is laid upon your hate, that heaven finds means to kill your joys with love. And I, for winking at your discords too, have lost a brace of kinsmen." Capulet and Montague have lost their "joys", their children. But the Prince has lost kinsmen over and above those, and just two of them (Mercutio and Paris). The Prince, Mercutio and Paris belong to a family that is neither Montague nor Capulet. That is why Mercutio says, "A plague on both your houses." He is cursing Montagues and Capulets, but not his own house, which is different.

Why does mercutio keep repeating a plague o' both your house?

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.

Your question is a bit vague, but at the Capulet's house near the beginning of the play, Romeo (a Montague) comes to their party. Tybalt is engraged by his presense and later seeks revenge on Romeo by attacking him and provoking him to fight. Mercutio (Romeo's friend) then starts to fight Tybalt so he will stop attacking Romeo and Mercutio is stabbed by Tybalt. This then makes Romeo angry and Romeo ends up killing Tybalt for revenge.
