    The stars represent fate, and a romeo is challenging fate's apparent decree.

    Explanation:

    First of all, the other answers are very literal and that's not what english class is about. Second, in Romeo and Juliet, everything is trying to keep them apart. There is distance between them and their families are holding them back from one another. It seems like fpthere have been many obstacles put by fate, trying to show them that they shouldn't be together. but since romeo loves juliet so passionately, he's telling the stars, which represent fate, that he'll defy them. the reason the stars represent fate is because of the phrase that goes "it was written in the stars."
