“The last leaf” shows the theme of
friendship and sacrifice. Friendship is such a relationship that is
completed with the ties of sacrifice, sincerity, love, loyalties etc.
Sue is friend of Johnsy and she progresses this relation through
sacrifices.
Said Sue, “Will you promise me to keep your eyes close, and not looked out the window until I am done working?”
HOPE
Hope is also one of the major themes in
‘The Last Leaf’. The system of this universe is running at the idea of
hope. We dream for future life due to hope. For example, if an old man
is seriously ill still he is dreaming for his recovery because of hope.
He does not think about the black or fatal bird. The significance of the
leaf is life and nurture. Leaf is the hope of life for tree or plant.
When Johnsy sees the painted leaf against the wall through the window
then she says,
“Something has made that last leaf stay there to show me a how wicked I was. It is a sin to want to die.”The Doctor said to Sue, “She’s out of danger. You’ve won.”

I totally agree with you, it is very important do not miss the hope and faith in something or somebody)
You know I’ve never read this story, but when I got to know due to this very post the themes which are described in ‘The Last Leaf’ I decided to add this work to my list of compulsory books to read. Thank you)))
