| Quote #7 JOAN: "I tell you, Bastard, your art of war is no use, because your knights are no good for real fighting. War is only a game to them." (5.77) |
The French took this advice to heart. Historically speaking, Joan completely changed the way they fought.
| Quote #8 BLUEBEARD: "Not content with being Pope Joan, you must be Caesar and Alexander as well." (5.78) |
Is the comparison accurate? If Joan hadn't been caught would she just have kept on fighting?
| Quote #9 THE SOLDIER: "Fifteen years' service in the French wars. Hell was a treat after that." (E.95) |
How did Joan reconcile her warrior side with her Christianity? If the war Joan participated in created such a hell on Earth, are her actions at odds with her religion?
