the reasons Van Winkle likes to go to the mountains where he meets the creatures who eventually lead him to fall asleep. With these characters we as the audience realize that this story is meant to feel out of proportion. The creatures also rarely talk in the story, creating a tone of mystery. A central theme of the story is the inevitability of change. These characters help push that theme. Dame Winkle’s over-the-top nagging pushes him to go to the mountains were the creatures lead him to…

There is a place where you can go. There is a place where the wind whispers wonders Of long ago. There is a place where the Meadowlark still sings. I know this place for long ago...

He does not find his lifestyle a setback, since "he was a great favourite among all the good wives," and "the children of the village, too, would shout with joy" whenever they saw him (Irving). Winkle has many fans, however…
