Where in the play is Romeo disobediant?

If you have a quote to support Romeo being disobediant, that would be great. Thanks

Romeo is disobedient when he attends the Capulet party. The Prince has already warned the feuding families that there will be no more bloodshed. Romeo's attendance at the party, as well as Mercutio's, is a direct challenge to the Capulets. Entering the Capulet home is a surefire way to cause more bloodshed.

By thee, old Capulet, and Montague, Have thrice disturbed the quiet of our streets And made Verona’s ancient citizens Cast by their grave-beseeming ornaments, To wield old partisans in hands as old, Cankered with peace, to part your cankered hate. If ever you disturb our streets again, Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace.
