What conflict does Romeo experience

Romeo attempts to defy fate itself

Before the Capulets' party, in Act 1 Scene 4, Romeo is already feeling that fate is planning his doom. Romeo wonders if he should attend the party, as he tells Benvolio . . .

"I fear too early, my mind misgives some consequences yet hanging in the stars, shall bitterly begin"

When Mercutio shouts “a plague on both your houses” in Act 3, Scene 1, he's foreshadowing what's to come

or the Romeo and Juliet. This bloody scene in which characters are killed gives us a glimpse of what's to come, marking the beginning of Romeo and Juliet’s tragic downfall.

Later, when Mercutio dies, Romeo himself foreshadows the outcome:

"This day's black fate on more days doth depend/This but begins the woe, others must end." The others upon whom fate later falls, of course, are Romeo and Juliet.

In Act 5, when he hears of Juliet's death, Romeo swears he will defy fate:

"Is it even so? Then I defy you, stars!"

Later in Juliet's tomb, as he plans his own death, Romeo says:

O, here/Will I set up my everlasting rest,/And shake the yoke of inauspicious stars/From this world-wearied flesh."
