Mercutio feels that the feud between the Capulets and Montagues has caused his death, and so he curses both families, hoping that they will all die of plague. He is calling a plague down on both the Montagues and the Capulets because their feud has led to his death.

Mercutio will do anything rather than face the truth that he is author of his own misfortune by seeking out a fight with Tybalt.

Mercutio has shoved his way into the fight between Tybalt and Romeo and has been mortally wounded. He refuses to accept the blame he so justly deserves for his own death. He blames Romeo personally and then curses the houses of Montague and Capulet, hoping they all get the plague and die. Anything rather than face the truth.

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.
