What can readers infer from the following quote from Act V, Scene 3 of Romeo and Juliet?

Romeo: O, be gone!
By heaven, I love thee better than myself;
For I come hither arm’d against myself:
Stay not, be gone;--live, and hereafter say,
A madman’s mercy bid thee run away.

Readers can infer that Romeo is feeling conflicted about his feelings towards Juliet. Despite loving her more than himself, he acknowledges that he has come armed to harm himself. He urges Juliet to leave for her own safety, expressing a sense of desperation and self-loathing.
