The Lark

Finished reading Jean Anouilh's play, The Lark. It's the third striking play I've read over the years about Joan of Arc, the other 2 being Schiller's Maid of Orleans and Shaw's Saint Joan.

As Wikipedia says, "much of Anouilh's work deals with themes of maintaining integrity in a world of moral compromise." That's true for this play, and I can vouch that it's also true for his Becket and his Antigone.

All three
defy
the powers that be
and die
with integrity.
