"The Last Lesson of the Afternoon" is a poem written by famous author  D.H. Lawrence and it explores the frustrations and disillusionment of a teacher towards his profession.

Here are some poetic devices used in the poem:

  • Alliteration: The use of the same consonant sound at the beginning of adjacent words like "drowsy drone" and "mournful monotone".
  • Assonance: The use of the same vowel sound in two or more words. An example is "slowly, sullenly".
  • Enjambment: The flow of a sentence or phrase from one line of poetry to the next without a pause or punctuation.
  • Repetition: The use of a word or phrase more than once for emphasis. In this poem, the phrase "And how bored they are" is repeated throughout to emphasize the monotony of the speaker's job.
