    Several things make no sense to Rip Van Winkle.  He is a lover of nature, and likes to take life easy.  He cannot understand why his wife would be upset with him for spending his days in the mountains hunting, despite the fact that his farm is being run into the ground as a result of his neglect.

    Remember that Rip is not a go getter; he has a very easy going attitude and is non confrontational.  He does not argue with his wife when she quarrels with him and cannot understand why she would be vexed with him at all; rather, he avoids her by going into the mountains to get away from her.
