The Searchers
Development and adaptation of the western genre has occurred throughout the twentieth century in relation to the shift in context, this is still relevant. Stereotypes of a western genre and the context are determined by the time in which the film is being produced.

He travels for five years in order to find her and when he does realizes she has become one of them.

Carnegie presses his blind lover Claudia to send her daughter, Solara, to at least convince Eli to spend the night by sleeping with him. But Eli being the better man declines the offer. The book is seen by the girl, she is then beat until she tells Carnegie what she saw. His gang is then sent into the wasteland to take the book from Eli, but Eli makes it clear to the gang that if they
