This thesis is a study of Bernard shaw's great history
play. Saint Joan. Joan believes that she had been chosen
by God to set France free From English oppression in 1429
where the story discussed about the Engllish force in
France. Because of her conviction to be God's emissary,
she has to face the obatacles and consequences, which later
bring her into her death. In this study, the thesis writer
hignliyhts the idea of Joan's conviction to be God's
emissary in the fifteenth century as repealed through the
main female character, Joan. The thesis writer intends to
find the reasons of Joan's conviction to be God's emissary
and the consequences of her conviction. The thesis writer
uses literary approach, which is the theory of
characterization to analyze Joan's character traits that
influenced her conviction to God and theory of conflict to
reveal Joan's death. In the analysis the thesis writer
finds that Joan character traits that are persistence and
ignorant play a big role in her way to be God's emissary;
moreover, her character traits also give her courage to
face all the consequences such as her death. In
conclusion, the thesis writer finds that a conviction can
change something that seems impossible to be possible.
