We're watching the movie "Sleepy Hollow" in English class and I'm not a very good follower of movies. For whatever reason, I pay attention for the first fifteen minutes of it and then I get all lost and zone out. We have a worksheet to do and I was hoping to get some help here. Here are a couple of questions from it.
1. Describe the heroine. How does she use her intellect and courage to save herself?
2. What are the dark forces and how do they add to the atmosphere of the story?
Thanks in advance.

The dark forces could be seen as the tree of the dead. Or the woman that controls the horseman. Obviously the horseman himself. The overall movie was made to look dark using mostly gray tones, but I think your teacher means more of a physical aspect and not so much an intangible one.

The fear the town finds itself gripped in after the murders is also one. The backstory to the horseman is another. It's downright chilling.

Also, just to throw this out there in case anyone wants it here is the original in audio format and ebook. Librivox is a wonderful site.

He's faced at first to gain the trust of the town with the technology of his field. Fingerprints and such. They're new to the time period and they don't think he can help anyway because the killer is a headless horseman.
He's also faced with finding out that the person who controls the headless horseman is a woman. If you know anything about how people viewed women in the 1800's then you may have your answer for that.
You at least know not to copy me word for word, right? :D -
Theyre letting you watch sleepy hollow at school? I haven't seen it in a while, but are there like... several beheadings in that movie :lol:

Tell your teacher that a fruit-cake like Tim Burton's cinematic vision of the 1800s is an irresponsible point of reference when trying to learn about actual 19th century society. They'll love that.:up:alen1 and opfinistic like this.
