Character Relationships in The Reivers

Boon Hogganbeck (played by Steve McQueen) is a protagonist in The Reivers. Boon Hogganbeck is a likable but raffish reiver who becomes fascinated by Boss's new 1905 Winton Flyer. After taking the car and escaping punishment on Boss's bond, he breaks the condition by driving to Memphis to see Corrie, persuading his young friend Lucius to join him and reluctantly accepting Ned as a stowaway. Corrie (played by Sharon Farrell) is a protagonist in The Reivers. Corrie is Boon Hogganbeck's love interest in Memphis, and his desire to see her drives the central journey. Although the summary gives no further details about her activities, Boon's decision to violate Boss's condition and take Lucius on the trip is directly motivated by his wish to visit Corrie.
