Summary "Orleans'in neitsyt: Romantillinen murhenäytelmä" by Friedrich Schiller is a romantic tragedy likely written in the late 18th century. The play explores the historical narrative of Joan of Arc, focusing on her interactions with key figures such as King Charles VII of France, his mother Queen Isabella, and his loyal subjects as they confront the dire situation of a country under siege. This dramatic work delves into themes of heroism, divine guidance, and the struggles of a nation grappling with external threats. At the start of the play, the setting is established in a rural area where Thibaut d'Arc, a farmer, discusses the looming English threat to France and the urgency of marrying off his daughters amidst the chaos of war. This introduction foreshadows the arrival of Joan, who is depicted as a pivotal character destined to change the course of the conflict. As Thibaut expresses his worries about the state of the kingdom, other characters, including Raimond—who has affections for Joan—highlight her mystical qualities and potential to rally the French people. The opening segment effectively sets the stage for Joan's emergence as a leader, prompting both hope and skepticism among those around her. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
