About the Author:
Everybody is born innocent. We grow up only to learn to act in public. Joan, a mere teenage country girl, could blame her innocence of mind, if she wanted to justify her unfortunate death. She was a brilliant mental genius but unfortunately her tragedy lies in the fact that she always thought beyond herself and worked her body and soul for the betterment of her country and people, which incidentally, brought her to a direct clash with the authority (both secular and ecclesiastical). To understand her trial and the decision of excommunication, one must delve into the contemporary context and the crisis that Joan created by her powerful impact on others. If said bluntly, one [url=http://www.rtnagel.com/airjordan.php]jordan pas cher[/url] could say that she did not receive a fair trial, but then, we would be ignoring the fact that no matter what the time and context is, 'Joans' of all ages must endure the same fate.
One fact that all the major characters of the play agree upon is that Joan is unbearable. This feeling works in both ways for different people. On one hand Dunios condemns her [url=http://www.mnfruit.com/airjordan.php]jordan pas cher[/url] in scene-V only to save her back while at the other, Charles slip back due to his cowardice to face the court and his country. [url=http://www.sandvikfw.net/shopuk.php]hollister outlet sale[/url] The Archbishop and his Church, along with the Inquisitorial court have to destroy Joan one way or the other because she threatens their place and power in society. Again, Warwick, the English nobleman must obliterate Joan because she was in their way of winning France. The only way they could condemn such a humble, selfless, honest, pious and brilliant mind was only by calling her a heretic. In that argument, all religion can be called to perform heresy. She was not blamed to defy God but was excommunicated because of her defiance of the earthly [url=http://www.moncleroutletosterblade.com]moncler[/url] representatives, the Church. Her death was prefixed months before her trial even began as seen in scene-IV and reassured again prior trial in scene-VI ("I should be sorry to have to act without the blessing of the Church."...Warwick: scene-VI). If Joan was wise enough to understand the fear, the terror and the inferiority complex [url=http://www.jeremyparendt.com/Barbour-Paris.php]barbour pas cher soldes[/url] that she was creating in the ones who holds the societal power, she might have been more tactical in her dealings and maybe could have lived to be remembered today like Queen Victoria or Queen Elizabeth. Nobody questioned [url=http://www.shewyne.com/woolrichoutlet.html]woolrich sito ufficiale[/url] her actions in war or the strategies she applied in her vision of freeing France and coronating Charles as king. Every action is in fact justified by concrete logic as admitted by the Archbishop and captain Robert de Baudricourt in rejuvenating the soldiers ("...if they feel the thrill of the supernatural, and forget their sinful clay in a sudden sense of the glory of God, it will be a miracle and a blessed one."... The archbishop: scene-II) [url=http://www.slgsw.gov.cn/ln/E_GuestBook.asp]abercrombi[/url] and Dunios in her war strategies ("...I should think u were a bit cracked if I hadn't noticed that you gave me very sensible reasons for what you do."...Dunois: scene V). Even her voices can be rationalized psychologically as being her inner voice of logic and deductive analysis ("Why, yes: [url=http://coonco.com/viewthread.php?tid=61396&extra=]moncler outlet Menstrual Cramps - How to Get Rid of it - written by Ashlyn Baul[/url] what can be plainer commonsense? I was a soldier living among other soldiers. [url=http://www.mxitcms.com/abercrombie/]abercrombie[/url] I am a prisoner guarded by soldiers. If I were to dress as women they would think of me as a women..."... Joan: scene-VI).
If truth can be [url=http://www.shewyne.com/peutereyoutlet.html]peuterey outlet[/url] faced, it might be possible to say that Joan received a far fairer trial than anybody in her position. Such a visionary must be stumped for the cunning and the manipulative to exist in the world: may [url=http://www.vlaba.cn/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=134930]peuterey sito ufficiale Do Anti Aging Products Really Work - written by Lambert[/url] that be in the form of crucifixion, burning or being shot to death. One must understand that even Cauchon was threatened and insulted for being too considerate to Joan and even Joan could not help her natural instincts to use her fists than to use the iron hand in velvet glove like the wiser. This is still not Socrates' utopia and thus, for the sly and the shrewd to exist, she must die again and again. As Warwick says, "political [url=http://www.moncleroutletosterblade.com]moncler outlet[/url] necessities, though occasionally erroneous, are still imperative..." (Epilogue). The trail was in no way fair if our morality was involved, but reality tells a different story. In the play of the power politics, Joan is too white to endure and thus a victim of context. Truth resonates in Dunois' words, even 27 years later, "Forgive us, Joan: we are not yet good enough for you." (Epilogue) and this is [url=http://www.jeremyparendt.com/Barbour-Paris.php]barbour france paris[/url] still true today.
