Dime novels will often leave its reader under the impression the West
is a very simple place, it may be dangerous but simple, nonetheless. There are
usually [If it's clear, why put a "usually" ?] two clear sides, good and bad, and it is clear which character is on which side. A brave, kind,
selfless, self-sacrificing character who cannot be defeated by his enemy

even money bet [Not exactly sure if that's the right phrase you wanna use. You wanna be sure, but "Even Money Bet" is a 50% chance ] to turn out to be the hero in almost any dime westerns. The early and more idealistic version of western
heroes was [Grammar! Use was, or use "Heroes". Don't use both. ] perhaps a reflection of the Western landscape in its early days, naïve, idealistic, and simple. But over time
, [Use of commas, very important 
: ] these western heroes evolve and change. They evolve from the ideal image of a hero into characters such as Clint Eastwoods Bill Munny from Unforgiven (1992) and the nameless detective of Dashiel Hammets Red Harvest. The evolution of fictional Western Heroes from an idealistic portrayal to a flawed anti-hero signifies the abandonment of romantic and ideal image of the western frontier and reflects its changing state of mind into a modern and mature civilization.
With the disappearance of American Indian as a viable threat, [Can be rephrased to make it better ] the western movement of settlers and homesteaders began. Perception of early settlements and life in the western frontier in its early days was perhaps a little convoluted due to the lack of true and detailed account. Nevertheless, many writers believe this period of western history as a significant part of
the American identity and they were captivated with the idea of romanticizing the West and ended up portraying it in an ideal and simple manner. Often times, that means that they were not particularly concerned with reality and
excludedcomplexity in their depiction of life in the western frontier. Frederick Elkins journal The Psychological Appeal of the Hollywood Western deals with the creation of trends in western fiction. Concerning the characteristic of a western fiction, particularly the ones that was [Inconsistent. "A western fiction", "the ones" "was" ]heavy

western [Again, incomplete and unclear, keep the reader in mind, make sure they understood what you meant.] because it would compromise its romantic and ideal image. The society was influenced to accept
the view the [I thought "this view of a" would fit better, Just my .02

The perception of the west was this [I thought "an" would fit better ] ideal and simple realm, and it was only fitting that the western heroes of this era, as a reflection of that perception, were as ideal and romantic as the realm that they represented.
