Answer: One of the themes of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is "the corrupting nature of gluttony and greed".

Step-by-step explanation:

Various characters such as Ichabod and his partner Katrina are described as ones who enjoy eating and as a result are rather hefty, and Ichabod is described as being self sabotaged by his desire for abundance and greedy habits, as well as his desire to be rich blinding him to better ways to succeed and his gluttony never being satiated due to his greed, displayed by how skinny he is despite his appetite.
