The answers:
1. Why is Frank Miller after Marshal Kane? Kane put Miller in jail. He was supposed to hang, but he finally got out and he is going to take revenge.
2. What religion is Mrs. Kane? Quaker. It is Protestant and pacifist, the largest pacifist church in the US. 3. Why did she join that religion? Yes, Maki, because her father and brother were killed, probably in the Civil War, although she never mentions the war.
4. What is the significance of that religion to the film? Because the Quaker church is pacifist Mrs. Kane made her husband quit his job as Marshal.
5. Why did Kane go back? Because if Miller finds them on the prairie they couldn't defend themselves, but if they stay in town he could get some help. Or at least that's what he thinks.
6. What did Mrs. Ramirez tell Mrs. Kane? That she should stand by her man. Mrs. Ramirez used to be in love with Mr. Kane, and I think she is jealous.
7. What is the meaning of the empty chair? That's where Miller sat when he threatened Kan.
8. Why is Mrs. Ramirez leaving Hadleyville? Because Frank Miller is probably going after her, too. Plus she doesn't like the town, because she is Mexican and suffered a lot of discrimination. BTW, the actress was a famous star of the Mexican cinema, but this was almost her only role in Hollywood.
