Answer 2

Answer:

Class And Interests

Explanation: Ichabod Crane is a school teacher intrigued with supernatural questions, trapped in his own madness. He is shown compassion but his ambition reveals some of his dark side, distinctive and rationally motivated to look for his ambitious answer.

Van Tassel, the father of Katrina he is a wealthy man comfortable with his life, his wife adores him, and he loves his only child and takes care of her.

- The contrast is noticeable, one lives by the hand of others but that doesn't mean his ambition will stop, he's dedicated to find and marry Katrina; His father (katrina's) as an upper social class he's living pleasures while the murders are increasing. So one really cares about the exterior world, while the other is self-sufficient.
