Comment on the surprise ending of the Last Leaf

Juli2301 [7.4K]

‘The Last Leaf’, first published in O Henry’s collection ‘The Trimmed Lamp’, is quite a moving story that cherishes the treasury of life and the existence of faith and hope. While the story is set in Greenwich village, New York, it speaks volumes on the many battles humans strife through their journey of life.

The story presents the life of three struggling artists – Sue (who was from Maine), Johnsy (who was from California) and old Behrman. They live an impoverished life in an artists’ colony in Greenwich village. It is an area marked by low rents. Thus we understand that they belong to the lower strata of the society and strive hard for success while hoping to make it big one day. They understand each other's fate very well and yet support each other even at the cost of their own life. They may be impoverished but their lives are splendid. The notion of friendship and self-sacrifice is the central idea of the story and keeps the reader hooked till the end.

The story commences in Sue and Johnsy’s jointly owned apartment, that is at the top of an old three-story brick house, in an artists’ colony of Greenwich village. The two friends also use this apartment as their studio.

In the month of November, Johnsy comes down with a serious attack of pneumonia. The disease has a bad reputation in this village and seems to have taken several lives. When Sue calls for the doctor, she is told that her friend Johnsy has slim chances of survival. This was not because of her physical illness, but more because Johnsy had foolishly associated her chances of survival to that of the falling leaves of the ivy-tree.

We are then introduced to Behrman, an old artist who was way past sixty years in age. He lived on the ground floor of the same apartment as that of Sue and Johnsy. He comes forward to help Sue in saving Johnsy’s life.

The story while maintaining the surprise elements, ends with a sting in the tail. Throughout the story, we read that Johnsy was ill and was expected to die with the fall of the last leaf. However, Behrman who paints the last leaf on the wall and battles the stormy night dies of pneumonia. Behrman was successful both in painting his masterpiece and in saving Johnsy’s life. Though Behrman appears once and speaks only twice in the story, his affection for Johnsy and Sue is well manifested in the story through his sacrifice. He thus becomes the very epitome of the theme of the story that self-sacrifice through love for others achieves happiness. The unexpected ending not only creates hope for other artists like Behrman but also recognizes him as a typical O Henry hero.

Answer: Genre

Short story Setting and Context An unnamed Jewish village in rural Eastern Europe, likely Poland, set during the winter months and Point of View Third-person narrative

Tone and Mood From the beginning, the tone and mood are grim, as the family has no money for Hanukkah and therefore decided to sell their goat. The mood shifts and becomes dramatic and grave as the storm threatens Aaron and Zlateh. But as soon as Aaron discovers shelter in the haystack, a sense of hope imbues the story with a good-natured mood and a reflective, wise tone. Protagonist and Antagonist

Protagonists: Aaron and Zlateh. Antagonist: the blizzard. Major Conflict

The conflict exists in the struggle between Aaron and Zlateh against the fierce blizzard .Climax The story comes to a climax when the storm threatens Aaron and Zlateh, and they face the prospect of freezing to death. Just at that moment, they find a haystack for crucial shelter. Foreshadowing The coziness inside the haystack foreshadows the comfort of life back at home in the village, suggesting that Aaron and Zlateh will find their way home together in the end. Understatement N/A Allusion The Jewish holiday of Hanukkah is alluded to as the context for the story.Imagery Throughout the story, the natural world is described with vivid imagery. The narrator paints a picture of the dark and threatening storm, as well as the beauty and calm of the world after the storm. ParadoxThe very storm that threatens Aaron and Zlateh is also the impetus for Zlateh's salvation from the butcher. Parallelism The cozy atmosphere inside the haystack parallels the warmth of the family home back in the village.Metonymy and Synecdoche N/A Personification Several aspects of the natural world come to life through personification, especially the elements of the storm and the calm skies after the storm. For example, during the storm, the narrator describes the wind wailing "with one voice and then with many... [with] the sound of devilish laughter." Similarly, after the storm, the narrator notes how the "moon swam in the sky as in a sea.”Next Section Related Links Previous Section Yiddishism and Americanism in Isaac Bashevis Singer's Work Buy Study GuideCite this page Primis Player Placeholder GradeSaver will pay $15 for your literature essays GradeSaver will pay $25 for your college application essays GradeSaver will pay $50 for your graduate school essays – Law, Business, or Medical GradeSaver will pay $10 for your Community Note contributions GradeSaver will pay $500 for your Textbook Answer contributions STUDY GUIDE NAVIGATION About Zlateh the Goat.Zlateh the Goat Summary Character List Glossary Themes Quotes and Analysis Summary And Analysis Part I Part II
