Answer:
M. Hamel emerges as an epitome of an ideal teacher in the story "The Last Lesson". he is introduced by the narrator as a ruler-wielding conventional teacher, who is strict and cranky. one feels that he is insensitive to the feelings of his students.
However, as the story progresses, he is seen like a true facilitator, a guide and a philosopher for his students. The utmost sincerity and patience, that he exhibits while delivering the last Lesson, earns him everyone's respect. He advises the innocent villagers to pay more attention to learn their mother tongue . He urges his students to shake off procrastination and safeguard their language as it was the key to their prison.Being deeply patriotic, he is choked with emotion and fails to utter goodbye but proudly writes 'VIVE LA FRANCE' on the blackboard.
M. Hamel is this shaped up as an ideal teacher, true guide, philosopher and patriot to the core.
