圣女贞德(Saint Joan)简介：

Saint Joan is a play by George Bernard Shaw, based on the life and trial of Joan of Arc. Published not long after the canonization of Joan of Arc by the Roman Catholic Church, the play dramatises based on what is known of her life and on the substantial records of her trial. Shaw studied the transcripts and decided that the concerned people acted in good faith according to their beliefs. He wrote in his preface to the play:

"There are no villains in the piece. Crime, like disease, is not interesting: it is something to be done away with by general consent, and that is all [there is] about it. It is what men do at their best, with good intentions, and what normal men and women find that they must and will do in spite of their intentions, that really concern us."

Michael Holroyd has characterised the play as "a tragedy without villains" and also as Shaw's "only tragedy".[1] John Fielden has discussed further the appropriateness of characterising Saint Joan as a tragedy.[2]

萧伯纳的历史剧《圣女贞德》，描写的是同名法国民族英雄的生平事迹。萧伯纳的剧本写出了贞德那劳动人民的纯朴性格和优良品质，如果不是出生在那样的一个进代的环境，她这种优良品性大概也就只能表现在家庭生活、田野劳动、友伴往来等等日常琐事之中了。然而，处在那种国难严重的关头，为残酷的战争环境所逼迫，这个平凡的农村姑娘身上竟迸发现那么巨大的智慧、勇敢、魄力、才能，真像是一道灿烂夺目的光芒，照亮了欧洲中世纪的黑暗天空。
这位法国人民的女儿，以自己的呼号和奋斗触发了潜伏在人民当中的伟大力量，在不到一年的时间，打败了侵略者，使法兰西转危为安。然而，在辉煌的胜利中，由于内奸破坏，统洁者的阴谋，外国侵略者的收买，天主教会的迫害，使得这位为祖国建立不朽功勋的民族英雄竟被诬陷而死。——萧伯纳写的正是这一桩历史悲剧。据评论者说，这是萧伯纳所写的唯一的一部悲剧。
