The play focuses on the pivotal figure of Joan of Arc, exploring themes of national pride, faith, and the struggle for freedom in a war-torn France. The opening of the play introduces a tense atmosphere in the royal court of King Charles VII of France. Characters such as Dunois express frustration with the king's inaction in the face of the English threat, while Dunois and Du Chatel discuss the dire state of Orleans, which is under siege. King Charles appears more preoccupied with festivities than the impending doom of his city. Amidst this backdrop, Agnes Sorel offers her wealth to fund the troops, showcasing her loyalty. The mood shifts with the arrival of La Hire, who brings news of a miraculous victory attributed to a maiden leading the French forces. This sets the stage for the introduction of Joan of Arc, the driving force of the narrative, as the characters grapple with hope and desperation in their fight against adversaries.
