![]() ![]() Roark, who is truly the brilliant one, is considered a crackpot and a laughing-stock. ![]() Critics and bosses find Keating’s work brilliant. It may be predictable that while Roark fails at finding a job and fails at starting his own business, Keating thrives by stealing other people’s ideas and copying classic architectural style. Whereas Roark was a fountain (no pun intended) of ideas and stands unwavering by his credo, Keating had no such beliefs and will only do whatever was necessary to garner success, wealth, and prestige. ![]() Roark’s classmate, rival, and supposed friend Peter Keating was Roark’s polar opposite. Because of this attitude, neither he nor his sketches become popular. He holds steadfastly to the belief that one should only sculpt buildings to fit the location, material, and purpose, elegantly and efficiently. Due to Rand’s ideology, the main character, Howard Roark, exemplifies the perfect modern individual. THE FOUNTAINHEAD, written in 1943, is yet another extension of Rand’s Objectivism. ![]()
