Romeo says that he will "sack the the hateful mansion" of his name, by which he means he will commit suicide. He says this when the Nurse reveals that Juliet is at home weeping and saying his and Tybalt's names repeatedly. Romeo says that Juliet must hate his name (i.e. him) because he killed her beloved cousin Tybalt. The Friar chastises him for his moaning, saying essentially that he has much to be thankful for, and that he will need to have his wits and his courage about him as he comes up with a plan to reunite the young couple for good. Romeo is reassured by this speech, and is even more cheered by a ring that the Nurse gives him, a token of love from Juliet. He realizes then that Juliet still loves him, despite the fact that he has just killed her cousin.
