he wanders off into the mountains to take his dog for walks, and vistis the pub in the village.
Rip's chief flaw is that he is lazy and avoids his responsibilities, preferring to escape to the mountains to avoid his nagging wife and get away from his duties. He lacks ambition and drive, leading to his isolation and eventual estrangement from his community.
Dame Van Winkle is portrayed as a nagging, domineering wife while Rip Van Winkle is depicted as a carefree, lazy individual who prefers avoiding responsibilities. Dame Van Winkle is focused on hard work and managing their household, while Rip is more interested in socializing and enjoying his time with friends.
Some exaggerated parts in Rip Van Winkle include Rip's prolonged 20-year sleep in the Catskill Mountains, the dramatic changes that occur in the village and Rip's family during his absence, and the comically exaggerated description of Rip's wife, Dame Van Winkle, as a domineering and nagging figure.
In Washington Irving's "Rip Van Winkle", Rip awakes after a twenty year sleep and returns to his village. No one remembers him. He finds a man who is claiming to be Rip Van Winkle and who Rip believes to be an impersonator. The "impersonator" turns out to be his son, who was named after his dad and is now a man. The biggest irony in Rip Van Winkle is that Rip, a man who based on his lazy, indolent nature, most would not expect to achieve his goals in life, actually does. He outlives his nagging wife, will be supported by his adult daughter and will never have to do a day's work.
