Question #5

Sibyl explains that falling in love with Dorian in real life has ruined her enjoyment of acting. She now sees the theater and all it contains as an "empty pageant". She wants Dorian to take her away from the theater because, "Even if I could do it, it would be profanation for me to play at being in love. You have made me see that."

What does "profanation" mean?
