In this excerpt from act V of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Romeo encounters Paris when he enters Juliet’s grave. Paris challenges him to a duel, but Romeo pleads to be left alone before he is forced to fight. What does this excerpt reveal about Romeo’s character?

ROMEO: I must indeed; and therefore came I hither.
Good gentle youth, tempt not a desperate man;
Fly hence, and leave me: think upon these gone;
Let them affright thee. I beseech thee, youth,
Put not another sin upon my head,
By urging me to fury: 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 bade thee run away.

This reveals the disgust Romeo has for himself for being alive and causing Juliet's death. He knows that if he hadn't been banished by killing Tybalt, Juliet still might be alive. He hates himself and tells Paris to run away because he's a better person than Romeo considers himself to be.
