Overview
How is the western’s central thematic binary (civilization vs. wilderness/savagery) conveyed through Stagecoach's use of western genre conventions? Use specific examples from at least one scene as evidence. Make sure to identify what type of convention you’re discussing (thematic, narrative, character archetypes, iconography). Think about the way we looked at how the central thematic binary was expressed in the scenes from My Darling Clementine and The Searchers in class as examples.
