Explain the theme of 'linguistic Chauvinism'

-- "Linguistic Chauvinism is a strong belief that our language is superior to others"- This theme is effectively brought out by the writer Alphouse.

-- The lesson is a comment on Man's desire to rule over & over power those whom he defeated in every sense of the world. After the annexation of France by German. The Germans not only wanted to rule over the French geographically & politically but also wanted to impose their language on them.The Germans suffered from linguistic chauvinism .

-- The victims in the France people were deeply pained at the thought of losing their language. The pain is seen i the very emotional description of the villagers coming to attend the last lesson. It is also been in Franz's last ditch effort to answer his teacher's question to perfection and in Hamel's supreme effort to teach all that he knew in one stroke to his students using all his patience.

-- Within the framework of the story Dandet provides a solution to the problem of linguistic chauvinism through his spokesperson M.Hamel-who teaches people to hold on fast and guard to their language which is the key to their freedom and which symbolizes their identity.
