Quote #4
JOAN: "I do not want to be thought of as a woman. […] I do not care for the things women care for. They dream of lovers, and of money." (3.49)
Joan seems to define most women as petty and selfish.
Quote #5
JOAN: "I wish you were one of the village babies."
DUNOIS: "Why?"
JOAN: "I could nurse you for awhile." (5.22-5.24)
This seems like an incredibly maternal thing for a person to say who doesn't want to be thought of as a woman.
Quote #6
THE INQUISITOR: "When maids will neither marry nor take regular vows […] then, as surely as the summer follows the spring, they begin with polygamy, and end by incest."
Whoa, really? Does this seem like a bit of leap to anybody else? We wonder if this is just a horror story told to keep women under men's control.
