BEAU SHIVELY

In the Movie Joan of arc, there are many characters with many differences and similarities. In the following paragraphs, i will compare and contrast 4 different characters. They are Joan, the Bishop, King Charles, and John Demantz.

Joan is the maid of lorraine, and she rallies the french army to defeat the english. She helps Charles become king, and is ultimately executed due to heresy. She shows determination, bravery, and loyalty to god. The bishop tries Joan in Burgundy, and ultimately has her executed. He is stubborn. I say this because he puts Joan on trial for talking to god and lying to being the maid of lorraine. She shows stubborness like the bishop by giving up her life instead of admitting something that was wrong.

King Charles is greedy, and very selfish. He uses Joan to get his crown and give himself power. He uses her to raise an army, and gives her to the English so they would sign a treaty. John Demantz is very brave and loyal to Joan as a friend, not because she will give him power, or becuase she talks to god. They are alike because they both doing whatever they can to end the war. John is fighting along side Joan, and risking his life for her protection. King Charles is using Joan to her full extent. He is talking to the english and finding something to trade for peace. That is how they are alike and different.
