why is the poem Rabindranath Tagore title last bargain

Dear Student,
Given below is the answer to your question.

As he walks by the seaside, the narrator sees the sun shining on the sand and the waves breaking haphazardly on the shore. He comes across a child playing with shells. The child seems to recognise him and offers to hire him with nothing more than goodwill and cheer. He has nothing to give him in material terms. The narrator accepts the agreement that makes him feel free and content. The poem describes the narrator’s quest to strike a bargain while he is looking for work. It underlines that the worth of freedom is more than power, money or beauty. Therefore, it is titled 'last bargain'. The most valuable thing is freedom and making a bargain for that precious thing is very significant.

“The Last Bargain” by Tagore is a sixteen lines poem composed in blank verse conveying a strong message well needed for the materialistic world that no power, money or lust can make us happy. Simplicity and innocence are the most supreme of all.
