| Quote #4 JOAN: "I do not want to be thought of as a woman. […] I do not care for the things women care for. They dream of lovers, and of money." (3.49) |
Joan seems to define most women as petty and selfish.
| Quote #5 JOAN: "I wish you were one of the village babies." |
This seems like an incredibly maternal thing for a person to say who doesn't want to be thought of as a woman.
| Quote #6 THE INQUISITOR: "When maids will neither marry nor take regular vows […] then, as surely as the summer follows the spring, they begin with polygamy, and end by incest." |
