Why did Joan of Arc attempt suicide?

Answer 1

Having read a number of books and many magazine and encyclopedia articles about the Maid, I have never heard this argued. Suicide is incompatible with Catholic Values and She never attempted such a thing. She did escape from a tower prison or prison tower by jumping but survived the leap this was escape, not suicide attempt./ I have never heard this argued , nor has it been used in any of the various filmic and other dramatic adaptations, many of which are distorted. according to Schiller- who also wrote William Tell ( not the song, though) He had Joan killed off in battle and her love interest a Male Knight finds her ,in one case dying, other version already lifeless but intact, it is arguable it is easier to simulate battle death on the stage than burning at the stake, which of course, poses fire hazards. But this suicide attempt thing is new to me and I am famiiar with fact-and fiction on the Maid.

Answer 2

Joan was attempting to escape. Unfortunately, she was recaptured by the British.
