Anyone who has read Shaw ’s St Joan‚ or has witnessed the play can state with certainty that one of the fundamental objectives of the writer was to remove Joan of Arc from the romantic perception that grown around her.

St. Philomena The saint I chose was St. Philomena. I chose her after watching a french film called “Aurore”. The film starts with Aurore as a young girl and her mother praying to the saint.
