The interplay with character has begun. Nameless, and what a prodigy she is! It is said she can write her own first name large enough for her two spinster aunts to read without glasses. And those aunts. Starken does mean to strengthen, but I do wonder about faust. Did Irving mean fist , and thus strong-fisted? Or did he lightly allude to the German tale Faust, a much darker meaning?
The humor of the story continues with a case of mistaken identity and a timely ghostly tale. Heavy-handed in the classroom, nasal melodies issuing from his throat, spindly and laughable and paranoid and perpetually hungry, Crane is hilarious to watch.
But the one characteristic that lends itself to a potential love interest is appetite. Setting, character, humor, and a taste of fear—Washington Irving blends all in ample portion to fasten the power and influence of superstition upon our human minds.
Perhaps this is why his Sketch Book became a bestseller overseas. He was the first American author in fact to break the barrier of the American stereotype. He was no ignorant colonist or rough settler as assumed, but rather the best of tale spinners.

Furthermore, Hawthorne uses foreshadowing to provide hints about upcoming events in his story. Tragedies may all be different stories, but they all end in a similar way. Tragedies often have psychological implications that show what can lead to tragedy, be it fictional or non fictional.
The story of Antigone centers around the fall of a prideful ruler who disobeys the gods, while Macbeth is about the fall of an ambitious hero influenced by evil. Creon is a more corrupt character than Macbeth because he is not affected by outside forces and the tragedy of the play is caused by him alone. Authors like Henry Longfellow would write uplifting romanticized pieces. He sets the focus of the story on Revere as he sets out on his important mission.
Although factually there were others helping with the operation, the poem was written to make Revere. Imagination is a mechanism of explanation for happenings that cannot seemingly be explained. Whenever a door creaks unexpectedly or a window rattles, a subliminal sense tells one that it might be the worst or an impossible force.
The door might have been opened by a ghost, and a monster might have hit the window, even though someone just opened the door and shut the window to keep the wind from coming through. The Romantics, people from the time period , thought that the imagination was more valuable and reliable than reason, as just shown in this prior circumstance.
Imagination can be defined by many definitions and synonyms. In addition to providing fine entertainment, the story seems particularly American.
We should remember, however, that although the Dutch women believe Ichabod has been spirited away by ghosts or phantoms, a traveler says that he has seen Ichabod in New York, where he has become a successful lawyer and judge.
