Discuss Ichabod Crane. Is he the hero of the story? Based on the way he looks and behaves, is he a typical hero?

Ichabod Crane is not the hero of the story.

Explanation:

Ichabod Crane comes to Sleepy Hollow to be the schoolmaster. He is extremely thin and tall, and his physical appearance does not make him a good example of a hero. Crane is old-fashioned and particularly interested in supernatural elements and ghost stories. His attempt to marry Katrina Van Tassel fails, as she chooses his rival, Brom, over him. Crane is also friends with women, and has no male companion.

Is there someone else in the story who better exemplifies the traditional hero?

Brom Van Brunt is a better example of the traditional hero.

Explanation:

Brom represents a real American hero. He is strong, boisterous, skilled on horseback. Although he is extremely strong, he never beats Crane physically. He has male friends, and, as opposed to Crane, wants to marry Katrina out of love, and not because of her money. He is not as educated as Crane is, but turns out to be the one who wins Katrina's heart. He is more clever and, therefore, outwits his rival.

the chosen symbology is the 'sweet secret' which anna confesses on january 6th.

anne's thoughts on her mother are further indication of her growing maturity and of her feelings of isolation from her mother.

the homoeroticism of this passage led it to be excluded from early editions of the journal. this passage shows anne's simultaneous innocense about and fascination with sex. she's clearly aware and unafraid of being sexual, but at the same time is seemingly unaware that her homosexual feelings could be considered taboo back then.

hope this !
