Answer:
Sue, Johnsy, the doctor and Behrman. Johnsy’s negative attitude, her lack of will to live and the fancy that she would die when the last leaf fell from the ivy vine. The doctor informed Sue that Johnsy would recover only if she had the wish to live. Sue looked after her well and tried to make her think positively. Finally, Behrman painted a leaf on the wall so that the last leaf would never fall, and Johnsy would live. When Johnsy sees the last leaf still clinging to the vine, and realizes that she has been given a message that she was wicked to want to die. The sweeper finding Behrman in very wet clothes and shoes, with scattered brushes and a palette with yellow and green colors mixed on it. Johnsy realizes her mistake and begins to look forward to life again. Though Johnsy lives, Behrman, who painted the last leaf, contracts pneumonia due to exposure to rain and snow. He dies due to his efforts. He dies so that Johnsy lives.
