Question

What is the character sketch ofsue in the story "the last leaf"?

Answer 1

Answer:

Sue is devoted to her friend and roommate Johnsy who is very ill at this time. Sue talks openly with Johnsy about her fears of losing Johnsy to her illness. Sue also talks openly with Old Behrman about Johnsy, in a conversation that leads to the climax of the story. She tells him that, ''She is very ill and weak,' said Sue, 'and the fever has left her mind morbid and full of strange fancies.'' At times, Sue seems mature and independent, while at other times, she seems young and naive. Sue doesn't believe that the influence of a man could affect Johnsy's recovery like the doctor suggests. Sue's resistance could reflect either a deep inner strength and independence or a naivete to the ways of love.
