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.
