idk if will help, but i hope it does!!

Ichabod Crane is the schoolteacher in Sleepy Hollow, a town where not much ever happens. Oh, except for ghost stories. The people in this town are obsessed with ghosts—and so is Ichabod. This is pretty much all we need to know before the story gets going.

Ichabod is addicted to eating. When he realizes that he can gain access to unlimited refills by marrying Katrina, the hunt is on. The only problem is that another guy already had his eye on this lady, and now he wants to kill Ichabod. Oops. This is the oldest conflict of all time: romantic rivals. It can't get more classic. Consider the action risen.

Ichabod is characterized as a weak and greedy man. His most important goal, by all appearances, is to pass through life as comfortably as possible. This goal drives his desire to marry the beautiful Katrina, an heiress. Bram Bones is his opposite in many ways, strong and fun-loving, and he too has decided to marry Katrina. Ichabod, however, refuses to fight Bram for Katrina, so Bram is left frustrated as Ichabod rises in Katrina's esteem.

Bram, however, is not stupid. He uses Ichabod's fear of the supernatural against him by masquerading as the legendary Headless Horseman and frightening Ichabod into fleeing the community. In this section, Washington Irving's intent becomes clear; he is contrasting the rationality in Bram's character with the romantic silliness of Ichabod's belief in ghosts. Irving wrote at a time when the Romantic movement, filled with gothic stories of the supernatural and magic, was overtaking the Enlightenment, a time of scientific thought and rationalism. With this underlying plot conflict, Irving illustrates the power of the Enlightenment over its new rival Romanticism.
