Her visions can be contrasted with the annunciation experienced by the Virgin Mary. In the annunciation, the Holy Spirit told Mary that she would give birth to Jesus, in the case of Joan; her annunciation was to lead the French troops to victory.

The first half of the scene consists primarily of longer, steady cuts, allowing the tension to simmer before it explodes. It is not until Caul destroys his Virgin Mary statue that the pacing of the edits increase, along with the tempo and drama of the music, to emphasize Caul’s faster and faster decent into madness. By cutting quickly from Caul destroying one thing to another, in his search for any trace of a bug
