Johnny Guitar/Two Mules for Sister Sara

In Johnny Guitar and Two Mules for Sister Sara an example of "the other" is shown. In Johnny Guitar Vienna is, "the other", she has a innapropiate relationship with many towns people. She is then challenged in a fight with Emma, in classic westerns women would never be allowed to fight. This shows why women are the others, they are not important so no men protect them. In two mules for sister Sara, Sara is spotted being gang raped, she then smokes and drinks alcohol, two behaviors unnacceptable for a women to do. I this film this shows how she is not the class women but the other, she poses as a nun but in reality is a prostitute. In both films the cowboy is seduced by these women and fall for her ploy. This shows that the cowboy is not a perfect human and can even fall for faults that others have. In the time period that the films were made in women were just gaining rights, and this showed their new found freedom and independence
