        <description><![CDATA[The previous posts to this question address the topic are quite well.  I would like to suggest one more element.  There is a thematic idea at play in Irving's work.  Being a part of the new American Romanticism movement, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" represents how American thinkers were delving into the idea of the supernatural, or how something may exist that is "not of this world."  An element of Romanticism is the idea of how...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Ichabod Crane of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" has a penchant for tales of the supernatural, enjoying the "direful tales" of Cotton Mather's History of New England Witchcraft, which "flutters his imagination."  Another source of his "fearful pleasure" is to spend "long winter evenings with the old Dutch wives" as they sit spinning their cloth and tales before the fires of their cottages.  Thus, he feeds his imagination with superstitious...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I think the best way to understand Ichabod Crane is to see his character from the perspective of human nature.  We as humans often want to believe the supernatural, so we sometimes allow our emotional sides to overtake our minds rationalization.
In addition to this, we are told that Ichabod has a fondness for ghost stories.  He likes to tell them and listen to them.  Then we can even add another factor.  Being an educated man, Ichabod...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[dky,
"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" by Washington Irving is an American classic. Many adults had grown up with it. But the importance of Irving's work goes beyond nostalgia. This short story speaks about an early American Republic, of the unpleasantness that came with a shift from English colony to independent country.
"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" reveals something of the malaise the author felt about the bustling, industrious society...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[My guess is that it was for what you call 'economy of effect' - that is to say that within a limited frame (the length of the film in this case), making the character profile (Icabod's in this case) fit into the story line as conveniently as possible. It is more logical for a detective or police inspector to investigate a crime than a simple schoolteacher to do so; his role is more believable in this way. The "storyteller" (here, the film...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In "The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calavaras County" there is only one narrator whose story forms the frame of the story. This narrator, who tells his story in the first person, gives a first hand account of a story he was told by Simon Wheeler who is supposedly telling a story he witnessed. Although the frame narrator is not impressed with Wheeler or his story, we tend to think of Wheeler and, therefore the narrator, as mostly reliable....]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[What a good question! I think Irving was making a parody when he called his short story this. (A parody is a kind of satire when a literary work mimics another one in form but is something quite else in sustance!)
A legend is a story usually ethnically identifiable, and the protagonist is a hero type, often "bigger-than-life" (if not quite,though, of "epic" or mythical proportions). Gangly Icabod Crane is certainly not the movie star type and...]]></description>
