Ichabod Crane and Brom Van Brunt are meant to be more than just two characters with a rivalry-they are actually representations of the young American nation and its “motherland,” Great Britain. Readers may benefit by understanding that the opposing forces presented here are these two characters, the victim and the victor, the underdog and the front-runner-not those of supernatural and reality-in order to understand a major significance of Irving’s tale.
