Recurring Themes & Cliches

Some themes are so familiar that you can name your own examples (if you're a fan) but I will list a few.

The big Rancher, trying to drive out the "nesters" -- i.e. small farms & ranches with <gasp> fences.

The Showdown. Somebody is coming to town, and there will be a big showdown.

The Bad Guy. Is he really bad, or just misunderstood?. <hee, hee> Maybe he WAS bad, and we've made a hero out of him!

	The Unforgiven
	Jesse James (et al)
	The Cimarron Kid
	Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid
	The Outlaw
	The Man who shot Liberty Valence

The Good Guy.

et al!.
