    While the conflict is one of man against nature the ultimate conflict is between folklore and science. Icabod Crane as a teacher represents knowledge. He strives to dispel shadows of the uneducated. Fighting against a phantom, a character of legend and word of mouth; he is ultimate bested by a wraith of memory and tales told in the night when the light of knowledge sleeps.
