Romeo holds Juliet's hand as a gesture of affection and intimacy, not because it is profane. In Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet," physical touch, like holding hands, symbolizes the intense connection and love between the two characters. It is a way for Romeo to express his feelings and closeness to Juliet.
Hard to say. We hear Romeo say what he thinks of Juliet ("I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.") then our attention is drawn to Tybalt and his conversation with Capulet. When Romeo next speaks he is holding Juliet's hand ("If I profane with my unworthiest hand . . .") What are Romeo and Juliet doing when Tybalt and Capulet are fighting? The text does not give us much help, except that Tybalt and Capulet actually discuss Romeo at the beginning of their conversation, and so presumably look at him, so it would not work to have him in a clinch with Juliet at this point. In some productions, Romeo sneaks up on Juliet and grabs her hand, so she does not see him until he is already holding her hand and asking to kiss her. In these cases, you could describe her reaction as amazement.
Romeo's rival for Juliet's hand was Count Paris, a nobleman who was originally engaged to Juliet by her parents.

Romeo has asked for Juliet's hand in marriage in the play "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare.
"If I profane with my unworthiest hand This sacred shrine, the gentle sin is this; My lips, two blushing pilgrims ready stand To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss."
He just took a risk and said to her the "If I profane with my unworthiest hand" line and she replied to it in an equally loving way.
Romeo asks Juliet's Nurse, "who is that / that doth enrich the hand of yonder knight?"
Yes. He says "If I profane with my unworthiest hand . . ."
correction: romeo calls Juliet a holy shine Juliet's beauty is so great to romeo that he thinks her beauty is heavenly, so he calls a saint(holy shrine). A pilgrim is a person who goes on a journey to see a saint (holy shrine) .
If I profane with my unworthiest hand This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this: My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss. Was said by Romeo to Juliet in Act 1 Scene 5
In the 1996 version of Romeo and Juliet, she did not love Paris, but it seemed that Paris loved Juliet or was deeply obseesed with her that he would ask for her hand in marriage.
