The Death Of Ichabod Crane's Sleepy Hollow
Ichabod Crane was very sadly, and painfully, killed by the head of the headless horseman of Sleepy Hollow, but somehow there are more factors that lead to Ichabod’s death other than the launched pumpkin. To recollect, the inequitable school teacher would have never met his demise if it was not for the tempting quest he went on for his heart’s desire, Katrina Von Tassel.
Katrina was a flirt amongst her kind, always wearing her petticoat too high revealing her ankle, which back then was a scandalous move and she knew it was. Ichabod fell head over heels for Katrina and even more for her wealth, he convinced himself he was in love with her. Katrina was aware of his liking and acknowledged it knowing the man she really wanted would defend her

    Raven vs Legend of Sleepy Hollow Argumentitive Essay

    The plot in “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” builds much faster that the plot in “The Raven.” The narrator speaks of becoming tired and beginning to doze however being wakened by a noise that he feels is a faint knock. One of the reasons that Irving’s story is better than “The Raven,” is the extended time taken for the action to build in the plot. “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” is favored by most readers because it is a tale of good vs. evil. The story sparks the imagination of the reader. “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” is story of rivalry between the two main characters, Ichabod Crane and Brom Van Brunt. The story represents the struggle and triumph of a young America. Irving does well at building the story between the two characters seeking to win the love of a rich beautiful woman Katrina. “The Raven,” focuses more on the distress of young man suffering from the loss of his love and dealing with the emotions that follow. I did not enjoy researching the definitions of the symbols and words in the poem. I began to feel sorrow for the narrator, as he fell deeper and deeper into sorrow. He spent time trying to forget Lenore by reading books of to distract his mind. His attempts to forget were in vain.…

    Sleepy Hollow Analysis

    Irving's Ichabod develops a cowardice persona from the audience as his superstitious beliefs come from unproven stories, in comparison to Burton's Ichabod, the audience is position to favor the character as his fears originate from his sympathetic past in which he is trying to forget. The original Ichabod is a school teacher who is constantly reading supernatural books and stories and due to his credulity, he superstitiously believes everything he is told: "Cotton Mather's 'History of New England Witchcraft,' in which, by the way, he most firmly and potently believed." (Moses and Irving, 1995) Due to his constant fears, his gullible belief in the Headless Horseman causes him to flee Tarry Town in which emanates his cowardice - causing the audience to view him as the coward he is within the text. However within the film, Ichabod is presented as an investigator similar to Sherlock Holmes in which many modern audiences' love. Rather than credulity, Ichabod is interested in scientific causes, and justice, "by pathology,... I will need to examine the body." (Sleepy Hollow, 1999) His vast collection of self invented equipment and notebooks further support his portrayal as more scientific than naive. His fears originate from his past as Ichabod is often haunted by flashbacks of his father and memories of his mother: "By a Bible-Black tyrant behind a mask of righteousness. I was seven when lost my faith." (Sleepy Hollow, 1999), therefore, eliciting sympathy from the audience. Similar scenes occur in both the text and film. Within the text, Ichabod's disappearance is caused by the pursuit of the Headless Horseman, evidently revealed to be Brom Bones: "Brom Bones,... was observed to look exceedingly knowing whenever the story of…
