Brom Bones is the bad guy in The Legend of Sleepy Hallow. He is tricky and he scared Ichabod Crane. He is also mean because he did it to get revenge.

He is tricky because in the story he scared Ichabod Crane by dressing as the heedless horseman. He uses a pumpkin for the head. In the story he chases Ichabod Crane on a black horse. Then he thorough the pumpkin at him (by this time Ichabod was scared to the tip of his nose).

He is mean because he did it so he could marry Katrina Van Tassel. Katrina was 18, and her father was rich (witch is why Brom Bones wants to marry her.) He did it to get revenge on Ichabod because Ichabod wants to marry her too.

He is a good character for the story because he makes it interesting. Brom also makes it exiting and challenging. He makes it fun to read over and over again.
