Like Moses
There are echoes of ‘Let my people go’ here….we have Joan, attempting to reach the dauphin, stuck under the thumb of a local noble. He won’t let her go…he won’t send her….and so helps out a nun to feed the poor, and comes up with a plan to raise an army. What’s most fun are the ‘plagues’ that are delivered to the Duke….the hens won’t let eggs. So Joan goes back dressed as a man, and the Duke lets her go.
