brom bones and his style of living
Ichabod Crane's social status as a schoolteacher and his rivalry with Brom Bones over Katrina's affection made it difficult for him to fulfill his goal of marrying Katrina van Tassel in "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." Additionally, Ichabod's superstitious nature and fear instilled by the legend of the Headless Horseman further hindered his pursuit of Katrina.
