"Saint Joan" by George Bernard Shaw is a play that explores the life and legacy of Joan of Arc, a peasant girl from the Vosges who rose to prominence as a significant military figure and was ultimately canonized as a saint. Shaw presents Joan as a complex character, a visionary who claimed divine guidance through voices and shifts. Her military strategies and political insights were ahead of her time, challenging the established norms of the medieval world. Shaw delves into Joan's trial, emphasizing the fairness of the proceedings by the standards of the time, while also highlighting the political and religious tensions that led to her execution. The play examines themes of nationalism, feminism, and the conflict between individual change and institutional authority. Shaw portrays Joan as a figure of immense strength and conviction, whose actions were driven by a profound sense of purpose and belief in her divine mission. The narrative also reflects on the nature of sainthood and the societal forces that both elevate and destroy extraordinary individuals.
