Question

Joan said if you leave the door of the cage open the bird will fly out."Why did D'Estivet say that it was a confession?

Answer 1

Answer:

If you leave the door of the cage open, the bird will fly out. This sentence is a metaphor which implies that if you do not restrict a person to any kind of bond, that person will have the freedom to do whatever they want to. This is a sentence from George Bernard Shaw’s Saint Joan. It was a confession because Joan believed in this philosophy and wanted it.

Answer 2

Answer:

D'Estivet said that it was a confession because Joan herself said that “If you leave the door of the cage open,the bird will fly out" and it states that she tried to escape.
