What an interesting man. Everyone in the town loved him including children and dogs, he would work hard for others but not for himself or his family. He let his land go to waste, and his children walk around raggedy. His wife nagged him to take responsibility but it was too much for poor Rip. Without retelling the story we know Rip Van Winkle falls asleep for 20 years and wakes up to everything foreign.
The occurring theme in this story is time. So much has changed in 20 years. His wife has passed as well as his dog. He has lost his network of friends and everything that was familiar to him. Rip is in a "time crisis". The small stream that he remembers is now a gushing river 20 yrs later, nothing is the same, time has changed everything he knew.
