The last leaf is the symbol of 'hope' that empowers a person for having the strength to fight death. Johnsy's believe that the last leaf would make her life too cease with its fall was so firm that no miraculous drug could save her against her rigidity. Behrman's wait for the right time to make his master-piece that he had fancied for so long was over the moment he realized that he had the ability to save a life by inflicting 'hope' in that person's mind. The Last Leaf of the ivy vine had the power to sustain Johnsy's life and Berhman had the power to sustain the last leaf by creating it. This art gave Johnsy the power to sustain her 'hope' to live and indeed, until hope persists, "it is a sin to want to die".

The title of The Last Leaf is significant as it compares the falling of the last leaf to death. Johnsy, who suffered from pneumonia, felt that when the last leaf fell, she would die. Her neighbor, and artist, was determined to keep the last leaf intact on the tree. He braved a storm to paint the last leaf on a wall, making Johnsy believe that the leaf had not fallen. He contracted pneumonia in doing so, and died when the last leaf fell.
