The master conveys the gravity of the situation to his students, igniting a sense of patriotism among them. As the story unfolds, we follow the teacher and a head student, Deschamps, as they prepare to confront the horrors of war, emphasizing themes of honor, courage, and moral duty. The narrative sets a tone that blends the educational background of the boys with the harsh realities of impending conflict, establishing a poignant juxtaposition between innocence and the brutal truths of war.
