corrupts and he vows vengence. ‘ I have no private purpose. I want power. I want my

world of the future. Let all sacrefice and none profit. Let all suffer and none enjoy. Let

progress stop.’ Like a fugitive who fear being caught, Toohey has to live in the

agony of having to guard himself from the retribution of the people. He knows that power

gain through manipulation of others does not have the integrity too oppose the yearning of

men for freedom. He can only accept defeat.

Ayn Rand is not materialistic, yet she promotes rank differences and wealth. Her

characters are in fact very influential personalities who are often leaders within a

society. Critics of Rand’s work often redicule her philosophy as unrealistic, liable

to things that occurs in fairy tales. However, Ayn Rand believes differently. In using

characters who are over achievers, she demonstrates the power of her philosophy and the

potential of those followers who strive to attain goals with the best of their abilities.

Symbolically, her characters represent the highest potential that exist within each

individual.

Green is a significant color that maintains two polarities. To many, this color glorify

the shear power of money and to others it resembles the pale sickness that originate from

greed. In fact, there is a coralation between these ‘similar opposites’.

According to the mechanics of time, one event leads to another in a chronological order.

The old phrase, ‘There no smoke without the fire,’ holds true when associated

with money and greed. It may seem trivial that Ayn Rand promotes such a character within

her novel, honoring greatness, then include in the package, a terrible flaw.

Ayn Rand mocks the world for its imperfection when she introduce

the character of Gail Wynand, a rugged newspaper tycoon who owns every thing within his

reach, but lacks the possession of his own soul. She artistically accept her own

imperfection in permiting this foul experiment to take place.

Wynand’s accomplishments are radical, unchallenge by any other character in the

novel. His power is very concrete and true to life, but only to the extent that public

permits. The readers of his newspaper pretends to fear him while he play the role of the

dictator who deny his dictatorship. The situation unveil a continuous loop of lies and

deciet.

The Tycoon’s reign is the result of power he attain from shear wealth. Such power

comes with a price and he paid for by selling his soul to the puplic. On the contrary to

the purpose of a newspaper as an expression medium, the world of The Fountainhead

expresses zero tolerence for free speech. The paper exist for the collective and praise

everthing but heroic ventures into the new frontiers. Society encourages the conservative

while it condone aspiring changes.

Gail Wynand’s falter is due to carelessness in maintaining his integrity. His

business etiquette involve sacreficing himself and dedicating his whole life’s work

as a service to the people, for the people. He suppresses the outcries of his conscience,

acting only on the behalf of strengthening puplic relations and obtaining higher profits.

The man owns his fortune, but he did not own himself. The puplic mob lay claim to his

existence. His fortune is a mere donation from the public in return for the service that

he provides them.

Wynand suffers internal pain, a pain unbearable due to disappointment and a sour

appointment with reality. He dare challenges the public in a duel, wasting his efforts in

exercising a power that he never own. The sudden impact caught the victim off guard

because he never bother to ask and no one care to answer. In an effort to reclaim himself,

Wynand risked his fortune in a fight against the public for something which he believes

and lost. He is force to forfeit his newspaper empire, a life long dream of a man who

never was. In the end, he realizes too late that it is easier to move imilar to an engine

over heated, Toohey is too power hungry, in turn his eminent downfall. He knows quite well

that he is incapable of acheiving true power, so his conscience convulges and lash back at

the individual boulders, then to budge entire mountains.

To every situation there exist two extremes, presumably the black and the white. The

identity of the black is usually mark with a stamp of disapproval and render forbidden

deep within the abyss. In the world of The Fountainhead, Foul plays the dead man’s

hand. Ayn Rand is a towering diety who rules with an iron fist She refuses to tolerate

imperfection, despising power gain through self deprivation and unjust sacrefices. She

minics the qualities of a collective society in Peter Keating, a living mannequin,

susceptable only to the movements which others care to permit. Outspokenly, Ayn Rand

defends her opinions of a collective’s destructive nature by lowering the character

of Peter Keating to a point which is comparable to insects, slugs and parasites.

Keating is not a man, but a mass mob of the collective. When Rand refers to him, she

speaks of society as a whole. When Keating speaks of self, he voices the thoughts of a

million. He kills the meaning of the word ‘independence’.

He is very smart and cunning, but all of which he steals or borrows from others. His

apparition of progress is repetition and his view of success is the approval by some one

else.

Keating is the
