What does Mercutio mean when he says help me into some house benvolio or i shall faint a plague o' both your houses they have made worm's meat of me?
If you speak English, you know what "Help me into some house, Benvolio, or I shall faint" means. If you can't understand that, you neither understand your question or my answer.
Worms eat corpses. If you know that, you can figure out what "worms' meat" is.
The contraction o' is actually the word "on" without the n. So he is saying "A plague on both your houses." Plague was a serious epidemic disease that killed a lot of people; wishing "a plague on" someone is cursing them with a terrible death. It sounds like he is cursing their dwellings but he is in fact cursing their families--"house" also means family, like Queen Elizabeth's family is called the "House of Windsor". So he means "I curse both your families" and if you have got to Act 3 Scene 1 of this play I'm sure you can guess what he means by "both your houses (families)".
What else can I help you with?
How did Shakespeare explore the theme of law and order in Romeo and Juliet?
The Prince has the difficult task of trying to restrain the violence of the two feuding families without becoming a tyrant. He upbraids himself at the end for being too soft on them, but in reality he is being unfair to himself. Issuing a proclamation that public brawling would be punished by death was as strong an action as he could reasonably take. We also see the Prince struggling with the difficult question of vigilantes. In essence, this is what Romeo has done in killing Tybalt, and the argument Benvolio puts forward why Romeo should not be punished for it. Benvolio argues that Tybalt's life was forfeit already, having killed Mercutio in a street brawl. The Prince, wisely, does not accept this argument as a full justification of Romeo's actions. Had he done so, he would be licencing the feuding parties to continue their feud ad infinitum. The Prince's main problem is that he is trying to legislate something which, while socially necessary, is unpopular. He does right by trying to get Montague and Capulet to support his initiative, but their support is faint at best. Notwithstanding the ban, Tybalt still pursues Romeo around the town for a totally imaginary slight; Mercutio is happy to step into someone else's quarrel just for the heck of it; Romeo appoints himself a vigilante to avenge Mercutio's death; and Lady Capulet is hiring murderers to get her revenge on Romeo. There is no sense that Tybalt, Mercutio, or Lady Capulet think that these actions are wrong, and Benvolio defends Romeo's. Romeo is the only one who knows that what he has done is wrong; he is "Fortune's Fool". As the prologue states, only the deaths of Romeo and Juliet could convince the families that feuding is not just illegal, it is wrong, and they should stop doing it. The Prince could not, using the power of law, punish everyone who kept up the fighting, yet as a result of Romeo and Juliet's deaths, "all are punished".
