Curiosity is getting the better of me once again, so the time has come for me to pose a question for anyone who may be interested in answering.
What are your opinions and feelings on Joan of Arc? Do you view her as a heroine? A martyr? A rebel? A misfit? Do you believe she was controversial for the time in which she lived? Do you think she would have died so young if she did things differently? Is she to be respected? Was she a misunderstood individual? Give reasons, if you can.
For now, I see her as a young woman who fought to make her voice heard for her beliefs and convictions, which I personally find admirable. But I have to do a little more studying and research on her (as well as other famous historical figures) when I get the time.
I'd love to hear mainly from those here who identify mostly as conservative (though I welcome opinions from anybody). And please: be respectful and try to resist the urge to debate. I'm looking for straightforward answers so I can weigh them, analyze them, and some up with an ultimate conclusion on my own.
Also, I hope this thread is not deemed inappropriate in anyway. If so, moderators can lock, move, or delete at their discretion. I do not wish to cause trouble in any way here. I'm just a curious creature seeking to satisfy my craving for different opinions while this burning question is still on my mind. My apologies in advance.
