“The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” tells the story of Ichabod Crane,a greedy and naïve schoolmaster who tries to win the hand of the flirtatious and very wealthy Katrina Van Tassel.The neighbour Brom Bones also loves Katrina.He loves playing pranks,to which Ichabod will soon fall victim.Ichabod is fanatic about ghost stories and witches,and Sleepy Hollow is known for its supernatural activity--especially the ghost,the Headless Horseman.
One night,at a party at the Van Tassels’,Katrina rejects Ichabod (she might be in on Brom's plan).On his horseback home Ichabod finds himself joined by a dark figure on a large horse.He wants to shake this unwanted companion but fails.Crane realizes it is the Headless Horseman.He tries to escape,but the ghost throws the "head" at him,knocking him off his horse.
The next day,nothing is found of Ichabod but his hat and a smashed pumpkin.Ichabod is never seen again in Sleepy Hollow,and Bones soon after marries Katrina.The townspeople blame Ichabod's disappearance on the Headless Horseman,but Brom seems to know something more.
The tale thus combines a love story and a ghost story,forming a comic tale.The plot appeals to common sentiments,but the story makes fun of communities so sleepy that they need ghosts and ghost stories to occupy them.It also makes fun of a schoolmaster,supposedly one of the smartest people in town,yet crazy about ghosts and easily spooked and tricked by a practical joke.The man of letters plays second fiddle to the sporty Brom Bones.
