English The Maid of Orleans: A Tragedy Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Maid_of_Orleans_(play) Produced by Tapio Riikonen and David Widger "The Maid of Orleans: A Tragedy" by Friedrich Schiller is a dramatic play written in the late 18th century. The plot centers around the legendary figure of Joan of Arc, showcasing her rise as a spiritual and military leader during the Hundred Years' War, including her interactions with both the French and English nobility. The text suggests themes of patriotism, destiny, and the contrasts between male and female roles in warfare. At the start of the play, we are introduced to a rural setting where Thibaut d'Arc and his three daughters discuss the impending dangers of war as English forces encroach upon their lands. Thibaut expresses his concern about the fate of the kingdom, while Johanna, his youngest daughter, is portrayed as a mysterious and ambitious figure, seemingly distanced from traditional female roles. As tension builds, we witness Johanna experiencing a profound calling and determination to help preserve her homeland from foreign oppression. The initial scenes set the stage for her transformation into a powerful symbol of hope and resistance, as she is propelled toward her fateful destiny through prophetic visions and divine inspiration.
