| Quote #1 JOAN: "Our soldiers are always beaten because they are fighting only to save their skins; […] it is not kill or be killed with them, but pay or be paid." (1.165) |
Joan completely revolutionized the idea of warfare with this sort of thinking. She inspired soldiers to sacrifice their lives for something they actually believed in.
| Quote #2 JOAN: "Thou must fight, Charlie, whether thou will or no." (2.163) |
To Joan, war and violence is the only option to put France aright.
| Quote #3 DUNOIS: "If you [JOAN] delivered me from fear I should be a good knight for a story book, but a very bad commander of the army." (3.38) |
