single choice

This story was quite inspiring at the beginning, telling that girls also have the opportunity to learn knowledge, read and write. But, towards the end, I have to say that the heroine has a moral problem, and no amount of knowledge can save her life.
No matter how clever Joanna is, it is only through the selfless help of many people that she can reach the final position of Pope: her brother taught her to read, her first enlightenment teacher taught her to understand the world, her medical teacher did not expose her as a woman disguised as a man for many years, The pope's common sense about her, these people sending her to the top of the world, can be said to be God's arrangement.
God gave her good brains and good opportunities to serve God, but just when she was about to ascend to the altar, her boyfriend offered her a chance to get married. At this time, what I was waiting for was the kindness of the heroine who rejected the hero. , said I was married to the church. But no, she in turn let the man stay by her side and had a relationship between men and women, and finally got a big belly and ruined her reputation. If anyone is the most disappointed, God is the most disappointed. Originally, God wanted to arrange for girls to learn a lot of religious knowledge and go to the altar. In the end, this plan failed.
I have no objection to the female protagonist falling in love. When the male protagonist offers her to marry, she can agree to it, and the two will leave the center of power, Rome, and there will be no tragic fate. But the heroine was reluctant to become the Pope's second-in-command soon, and she was reluctant to have her boyfriend, and her greed caused the final tragedy. She can neither fulfill her ambitions nor live a peaceful life with her loved ones.
So this is a multiple-choice question. If you have to choose more than one, it will be judged to be wrong.
I especially like that after she was praised by the bishop as the only female student in the mission school, all the boys gathered to bully her and poured a bottle of ink on her on the way she had to pass. She walked over proudly and accepted the baptism of this ink.

Pope Joan quotes

  • House Steward: Pardon me, Eminence. The girl has arrived. You had her fetched from Ingelheim.

    Fulgentius: Oh yes, now I remember. That Greek scholar's idea. But am I seeing double?

    House Steward: The boy is her brother. Their father, a Priest, insists that he too be allowed to attend the Scola.

    Fulgentius: What do you know? I send for one and get two! If only the Emperor were as generous as these holy men from the countryside!

  • Johanna von Ingelheim: As for strength of will, women can be viewed as superior to man. Eve ate from the apple out of love of knowledge and learning. Adam ate it only because Eve asked him to.
