why was the lesson called the last lesson
Answers
Answer:
In the story "Last lesson", the French teacher named M. Hamel was going to give his last lesson to the students in his school. The students were going to attend the last lesson of their French class. That's why the lesson was called the last lesson.
For further reference-
The story revolves around the last lesson taught by M. Hamel as now French would no longer be taught in the schools of Alsace and Lorraine. It in fact turned out to be the first lesson for these Frenchmen who suddenly realised that they were losing their identity which till now they had taken for granted.
If we take our life and all that we have been endowed with for granted and fail to cherish it, chances are that we will lose it in times to come. This is exactly what happened with the people of Alsace and Lorraine. They lost their chance to hold on to their identity as they had never bothered to learn their language and it was a matter of shame that being Frenchmen, they were unable to read or write French.
Hence, the title 'The last lesson' is apt as it reaches the people of Alsace and Lorraine and the readers as well that lessons of life must be learnt well in time lest life should take away the opportunity.
