Joanna was counting the falling leaves in the story "The Last Leaf" by O. Henry because an old artist named Behrman told her that she would die when the last leaf fell from the vine outside her window. Each leaf represented a day of Joanna's life, so she counted them to track the passage of time and her impending fate.
Behrman is surprised and concerned when he learns about Johnsy's obsession with counting the falling leaves as it is affecting her health and well-being. He decides to paint the last leaf on the tree to give her hope and save her life.
In "Pygmalion" by George Bernard Shaw, the falling action occurs when Eliza Doolittle leaves Henry Higgins and strikes out on her own. This marks the resolution of the central conflict in the play and sets the stage for each character's next steps.
