Joan of Arc The two characters I have chosen first to compare are Joan and Pierre (Joan’s brother) because the have some things and common but still plenty of differences. Joan and Pierre are both very courageous people because they fight for what they believe in and think what they are doing is the right thing to do. Joan does the things she is doing is because she hears spiritual voices in her head telling her to make Charles the king. She does what she is told. The way they are different is because when Pierre decides to join the soldiers in the battle and Joan is scared for her brother to die. Joan is very outspoken compared to her brother. Her brother is more quit than her. Pierre thinks it is glorious to fight in battle. Joan does it because she thinks it is what she has to do. The next characters I have chosen are the Bishop and King Charles. Both men are ruthless because they do nothing to try to save Joan and don’t really care that she dies. Neither are trustworthy because the Bishop leaves the King to go to a different part of the country. The differences they have are I think the Bishop tried to save Joan as much as he could but did not do such a good job since she was burned at the stake. The king does nothing to save Joan in the end, he just sits by his fire as she is being burned at the stake. In the beginning of the movie the King believes in her and thinks she has believed in the right heir to the throne. The Bishop believes in Joan in the end of the movie, even thought she was mad at Joan for calling here out at the dinner and questioning him. The King is very selfish because he does not bother to save the girl who made him the king, he just allows her to be burned at the stake making no effort to save her.
