Poulengey swears that he’s not just helping her because he fancies her. The problem is that Joan already convinced Robert’s friend Poulengey to support her. Now, Robert fears for her sanity and he tells her to disappear. She says that she must see the Dauphin of France crowned King. Joan tells Robert to show her respect because God speaks to her. Robert thinks this is hilarious because girls aren’t built for war.
He’s angry because he runs a farm and the hens won’t lay any eggs. It’s a cold and sunny morning, but Robert de Baudricourt, a nobleman, isn’t enjoying it. “Saint Joan” begins in 1429, in the French castle called Vaucouleurs. The main reason the Church despised Joan, Shaw suggests, is because she challenged patriarchal society and the idea that God spoke through men. Shaw begins by explaining that, although Joan practised Catholicism, she was truly a Protestant martyr, an early feminist, and a champion of nationalism. There are only six scenes and an epilogue in “Saint Joan.” The play doesn’t follow a typical three-act structure. Aside from his literary accomplishments, Shaw is remembered for his contentious and unpopular political views. He received the 1925 Nobel Peace Prize for Literature, and he’s remembered as a leading 20th-century dramatist. Shaw was a renowned Irish playwright and political activist. Critics see “Saint Joan” as a celebration of Joan’s life and the person she really was, albeit there is a tragic element. First performed in 1923, it followed Joan’s canonization by the Roman Catholic Church in 1920. It tells the fictionalized story of Joan of Arc, the famed French military figure.
