Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
in Innisfree, the village which was the home of American-born Sean Thornton, the movies lead who is played by John Wayne ("The Quiet Man"). Maureen OHara also stars in the
film, playing the role of Mary Kate, Seans beautiful, independently minded and free-spirited love interest. Ford described this film as basically being a love story, as the relationship between
Mary Kate and Sean is at the center of the narrative. Sean, inspired by his mothers stories of her childhood, has come to Ireland to escape his traumatic memory of
having killed his opponents in a boxing match. He is immediately captivated by Mary Kate and so overawed by her beauty that his first reaction is to doubt that she
is real ("The Quiet Man"). Sean buys his mothers cottage from the Widow Tillane, and, as he proceeds to move in, he finds that Mary Kate, as a good
