In "The Last Leaf" by O. Henry, Sue and Johnsy met through a mutual friend who introduced them to each other. They became roommates and close friends, sharing a small studio apartment in Greenwich Village. Their friendship deepens as they face challenges together, such as Johnsy's illness.
In "The Last Leaf" by O. Henry, the antagonist can be considered to be pneumonia, representing the illness that threatens the main character, Johnsy. It is the disease that weakens Johnsy's will to live and poses a significant challenge throughout the story.
Behrman is a person who wants others to be happy. Although when for the first time sue told him about Jhonsy's fantasies about the leaf he reacted very badly but to give Jhonsy moral support which can be provided to her by preventing the last leaf from falling he risked his life and painted a picture of the last leaf on the opposite wall in the terrible cold weather. he is a down to earth person and a gem in millions.
I would end "The Last Leaf" by revealing that Behrman's sacrifice of painting the last leaf to give hope to Johnsy actually saves her life. Johnsy recovers and learns the truth about the leaf from Sue, leading to a touching moment of realization and gratitude for Behrman's selfless act. The story ends with a message of the power of art, friendship, and hope.
