Implication of the blacksmith's remark and Franz's response to his remark
The Last Lesson is one of the most heart touching stories by the French writer Alphonse Daudet. The story is based on the forced occupation of the Prussian soldiers of a small French village in the Alsace-Lorraine border.
The French-language teacher and Head Master, Monsieur Hamel, of the village school, had been asked to close down his school and leave the village.
Little Franz had got late for school and was rushing past the village crowd at the town hall. He was not aware of it being the last lesson.
The blacksmith, an aged man, shouted to him to go slow as there was no need to hurry. The implication of the remark was to intimate Franz that it was his last day in school. There would no longer be held any French classes hence forth so there was no need to hurry. The blacksmith's remark was ironic and sentimental.
Franz, who was not aware of the situation, interpreted the remark differently. He felt that the black smith was mocking him for being late. He thus responded to the remark by increasing his speed and rushing to school.
