The myth of the cowboy

"Define the myth of the cowboy according to Will Wright and apply it in the context of the revisionist western by comparing and contrasting the cowboy masculinity portrayed in Midnight Cowboy (John Schlesinger,1969) and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (George Roy Hill, 1969) and their intersection with the counter- cultural concerns of sexual politics at the end of the 1960s.".
