Which lines in this excerpt from act V of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet reflect the conflict of person versus the unknown? (JULIET wakes) JULIET: O comfortable friar! where is my lord? I do remember well where I should be, And there I am. Where is my Romeo? (Noise within) FRIAR LAURENCE: I hear some noise. Lady, come from that nest Of death, contagion, and unnatural sleep: A greater power than we can contradict Hath thwarted our intents. Come, come away. Thy husband in thy bosom there lies dead; And Paris too. Come, I'll dispose of thee Among a sisterhood of holy nuns: Stay not to question, for the watch is coming; Come, go, good Juliet, (Noise again) I dare no longer stay. JULIET: Go, get thee hence, for I will not away. (Exit FRIAR LAURENCE) What's here? a cup, closed in my true love's hand? Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end: O churl! drunk all, and left no friendly drop To help me after? I will kiss thy lips; Haply some poison yet doth hang on them, To make die with a restorative. (Kisses him) Thy lips are warm.

Answer:

"Of death, contagion, and unnatural sleep:

A greater power than we can contradict  

Hath thwarted our intents."

Explanation:

In this entry Friar Laurence is disclosing to Juliet that "a greater power" ended the life of Romeo and that they can do nothing about it, since this more prominent power is more dominant than them.  

Also, this is an ideal case of contention between an individual and the obscure, in light of the fact that up to that point the "a greater power" which the monk was alluding to was something obscure to them who are individuals.
