Improved Essays
It was the year of 1431. Joan was sentenced for heresy.
“It had been difficult to know what to do with Joan once her miracles had begun to fade. If God had not withdrawn His favor from her completely - which was surely the message of her capture...It was a matter of regret…” (Castor 160)
Is it really true? That after the miracle she had begun to see only what she wanted to see and lost track of the true point? Is it true that she was so consumed with trying to complete the missions that God has given her just to be dropped and categorized as a mistake? Did she lose track of herself on the way? Why did she stumble and sin? Was it all for the love of God that she started becoming blind? Did God wish she would stop?
But Joan of Arc was still
