Romeo does have conflicting motivations after Tybalt kills Mercutio. He previously was reluctant to fight. Romeo was interested in love rather than a brawl. After Mercutio's death, Romeo becomes quite violent.

Now, Tybalt, take the “villain” back again That late thou gavest me, for Mercutio’s soul Is but a little way above our heads, Staying for thine to keep him company. Either thou or I, or both, must go with him. act 3 sc 1
