Reading The Legend of Sleepy Hollow | Alexandria
Read The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving. Exposing the axe icon as more than Gothic horror, Irving's tale wields satire to dissect American ambition and materialism. Through Ichabod Crane's demise, it warns how blind pursuit of status breeds self-destruction - a lesson even more biting in today's hustle culture. The real horror? Our refusal to see greed's headless charge toward ruin.
