Quote #7
TALBOT
Where is my strength, my valor and my force?
Our English troops retire; I cannot stay them.
A woman clad in armor chaseth them. (1.5.1-3)
Talbot's awesome on his own, but he also cares a lot about his troops, so it's probably burning him up that they're losing to a woman—he's courteous to ladies, but he probably isn't so keen on gender equality in battle.
Quote #8
TALBOT
Heavens, can you suffer hell so to prevail?
My breast I'll burst with straining of my courage,
And from my shoulders crack my arms asunder,
But I will chastise this high-minded strumpet. (1.5.9-12)
Talbot calls Joan a strumpet, or prostitute, while fighting her. Since it doesn't seem like beating up a man in battle and taking up prostitution are very similar, the only reason for the comparison that we can think of is that Talbot may think they're both examples of a woman straying from her proper place in society.
Quote #9
COUNTESS
The plot is laid. If all things fall out right,
I shall as famous be by this exploit
As Scythian Tamyris by Cyrus' death. (2.3.4-6)
Joan isn't the only woman who wants to conquer the men by violence, apparently. The Countess of Auvergne is plotting to do something to Talbot, and the person she wants to be like is Tomyris. Tomyris defeated the famous King Cyrus in battle and then majorly insulted his corpse. The Countess sounds pretty kick butt, yet by the end of the scene she's apologizing to Talbot and feeding him a banquet. So much for girl power—and perhaps a bit of foreshadowing about Joan's eventual defeat.
