Answer and explanation:

<u>The final stanzas of the poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T. S. Eliot bring a sad and hard conclusion to the poem.</u> The poem as a whole is a pessimistic one. The speaker, Prufrock, is an unsatisfied man both carnally and spiritually. He is a loner, incapable of establishing relationships and connections with other human beings. He does want and wish for it. But even in his imagination, women despise him and criticize the way he looks and acts. He clearly has a self-esteem issue that, instead of being addressed and treated, only grew worse with time. Now it completely prevents him from living a normal life.

<u>The conclusion of the poem is even more pessimistic. The speaker does not believe he will ever be happy. He compares women and the happiness they represent to mermaids. As we know, in Greek mythology, mermaids would sing to sailors with the purpose of enchanting them. Sailors who heard their song would end up drowning. Prufrock thinks he will drown as well, but when reality wakes him up from the mermaid's dream. The mermaids, after all, do not sing for him. He watches himself growing older, stranger, weaker, more coward and less desirable.</u>

Answer:

The rivalry between the two men and the pranks Brom Bones plays on Ichabod all lead to the ill-fated events of the story, in which Ichabod is frightened away from the town by the living embodiment of a local legend, the Headless Horseman.Likewise, how are Ichabod Crane and Brom Bones alike?

Ichabod is a weedy, scholarly man while Brom Bones is a big, physical, uneducated country "rustic." Brom is widely known as the toughest, strongest, roughest man in the country.

Furthermore, why is Ichabod Crane physical appearance important in the story? Ichabod Crane, the itinerant schoolteacher of Sleepy Hollow, less a character than a caricature, grotesque in his physical appearance. Because of his gullible appetite for the
