Joan of Arc The Inquisitor speech towards Saint Joan is one of persuasion that uses rhetorical appeals such as ethos‚ logos and pathos to create the image of a damned vile creature in place of Joan‚ while convincing the clerics themselves to “feel” it is acceptable to condemn her soul. Knowing that the jury might look upon Joan with sympathy‚ he finds a way to create a pre-emptive attack to manipulate the way in which jury members will first look upon Joan.
