The Last
Lesson(Alphonse
Daudet)
Theme
Alphonse Daudet's lesson "The last Lesson" is primarily
about the desire to learn and love of one's mother tongue. It conveys a spirit
of nationalism. The Prussians imposed German language on the people
of Lorraine and Alsace in the "Last Lesson," rejecting their right to
choose their own language as their mother tongue. The conquerors deprived the
populace of their fundamental liberties. The kids felt constrained and forced
to stop doing something they enjoy and find comfort in when they were unable to
master their own language. In this story, linguistic chauvinism is stressed to
get our attention.
It highlights one's pride in their
mother tongue. Lorraine and Alsace were victims of linguistic chauvinism.
They were compelled to study German. Franz, a high school student who was
always hesitant in his French class and never took it seriously, recognised the
importance of learning his mother tongue. This characteristic of people
demonstrates that humans respect things more when they see them moving.
Furthermore, the parents preferred to see their children succeed rather than
learn French. They later realised how much they missed learning French and felt
bad about it. The unfair treatment of Prussians in their own motherland
demonstrates how they drilled their land.
