Answer:
The main characters are: Brom Van Brunt, Ichabod Crane, Katrina Van Tassel.
Explanation:
Katrina Van Tassel: she is a rich and beautiful girl and represents the romantic interest, in which the protagonist and the antagonist deposit their love and desire. Katrina is an 18-year-old girl and knows that she has a strong sensual appeal to the men of the city. She highlights her own attributes as a way of getting attention from those she desires.
Brom Van Brunt: He is the antagonist of the story and wants to prevent the protagonist from winning Katrina's love, as he is also in love with her. He is admired in the region and is a skilled and daring man.
Ichabod Crane: He is the protagonist who disputes Katrina's love with Brom. Ichabod is not as admired in the city and has disadvantages as winning the woman he wants. He is also not as strong and handsome as Brom.
Answer: In the first paragraph, the narraraor seeks to establish his credibility, as if he expects the reader to believe that his especially acute sense of hearing makes him more believable than an ordinary observer. The narrarator purports that his calm, detailed account will be accepted as truthful, despite some irrational decisions and actions. The narrarator's attention to detail clues the reader to "expect the unexpected" in terms of details the narrator's heightened senses reveal.
In the third paragraph, the narrator reveals that he has, in fact, killed the old man. We are hearing the account of a murderer rationalizing his actions, as if this is what anyone with his keen perception and ability to carry out this elelaborate scheme would have done. The reader realizes that this narrator is crazy, but we are still listening, but we can intrpret his intentions as absolutely irrational. Speaking corageously to the man by day, sneaking stealthily into his bedroom by night.
The fourth paragraph confirms the reader's suspicions that the narator is beyond belief: feeling the extent of his own powers. And even when he thinks the old man may have heard him, he persists in his incredibly slow, deliberate intention to intrude into the man's bedroom-- hoping to see what he has defined as Evil Eye-- as if the narrator has a duty to eliminate something that vexes only him. Our impression must be that this narrator can't escape the consequences of his actions.
