"Oh, come not near me, sir; I shall defile you.
I am that of your blood was taken from you
For your better health. Look no more upon't
But cast it to the ground regardlessly;
Let the common sewer take it from distinction.
Beneath the stars, upon yon meteor
Ever hung my fate, 'mongst things corruptible;
I ne'er could pluck it from him. My loathing
Was prophet to the rest, bu ne'er believed;
Mine honor fell with him, and now my life."
(The Changeling V.iii.158-67)

Understandable
I have asked the same question of other situations in life. It seems that some places were created for bad things to happen. But, then I remember that people make their own choices. It is not dependent on nature. Although, I can understand why Marcus would feel the way that he does and say those lines as it relates to what happened to his niece.
