I find that many westerns are derived from archetypical stories that can be
found with a little investigation in the work of the Brothers Grimm or
cultural mythos.
The very best are intriguing because, although the good and bad guys are
easily distinguished by their white and black hats, respectively, the moral
dillemmas faced by the characters reside in a troublesome grey area.
