And tells Tybalt to fight him.
Mercutio sees that as Romeo is backing down he is a cowed, and he must fight to protect their name. When he fights Tybalt, Romeo tries to stop them.

When he is stab he jokes at first, but then shouts “A plague o’ both your houses!” he shouts this as it is both Tybalt’s and Romeos
