Question

(u) Why is the patriot punished ? What makes him sad?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The patriot is punished for some misdeeds done by him during the year. It is sad and ironic that they have completely forgotten his good deeds. It makes him sad to recollect that these very people who worshipped him like a hero a year ago have turned against him. They have forgotten all he had done for them.

Answer 2

Answer:

The patriot is punished for a certain 'misdeed' that he did, which made all the people turn against him. But seeing the same people who once loved him, a year ago, now hating him, and wanting him to be executed, makes him sad as the patriot was welcomed a year ago for his victory, as a hero.
