For me, the story had more gothic elements with its descriptions of the setting and the atmosphere. The way Sleepy Hollow and Ichabod Crane are described in the story paints a vivid picture in your head as your read. The story starts with the clarification that it is a tale found in the possessions of the Late Diedrich Knickerbocker, who is the narrator of this story. It is interesting and keeps you hooked on the mystery. I like that the story had an open ending, although it does put forth two scenarios to choose from as the ending. It is up to the reader to interpret what to make of the ending. He is said to be doing well, and he is teaching as well as studying to be a lawyer. Although, there is a rumor that one person saw him in New York. Ichabod disappeared after that night, and no one in town sees him again. The climax of the story is almost at the end, and there is no proper resolution as such. It describes the town, the people, the stories and myths, and Ichabod The story is very descriptive in its nature.

The first half, more than half of the story is exposition. The story of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is pretty straightforward. While coming back from the party, he encounters the Headless Horseman and vanishes. Ichabod gets invited to a party at the Van Tassels’ house. Ichabod is a lanky, and somewhat awkward type of guy. Physically, Brom and Ichabod are not a match. Due to his interest in Katrina, Ichabod becomes a victim of practical jokes from Brom. She is sought after by many young men in the town, but Ichabod’s biggest competition is Brom Bones. Ichabod is smitten with Katrina Van Tassel, a beautiful young girl belonging to a prominent farmer in town. His favorite story is that of the Headless Horseman, who is said to have been tortured and killed during the revolutionary war. The Sleepy Hollow has myths and legends about the place. He is especially fond of supernatural tales. He reads a lot and talks to the locals about the local legends and stories. Ichabod is described as someone who has a lot of curiosity. He is living at the house of one of his students. Sleepy Hollow is a place adjacent to Tarry town.

He has moved from Connecticut to Sleepy Hollow and is a schoolmaster. The protagonist of the story is Ichabod Crane, a curious schoolmaster. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving is set in the late 1700s in a small town in New York called Tarry Town.
