Quote #10

PUCELLE
Then take my soul—my body, soul, and all—
Before that England give the French the foil. (5.3.22-23)

Is Joan one of the most patriotic characters in this play? Note: Shmoop does not recommend entering into contracts with vastly powerful, evil supernatural beings. It usually doesn't go well.
