Write an essay on ONE of the following topics:
In conversation with Peter Keating, Roark says “to get things done, you must love the doing, not the secondary consequences.” What evidence is there in the story that Roark loves doing? What are the secondary consequences he does not prioritize? How does his love for his work guide his major life decisions? How does Roark’s approach to his work relate to the overall theme of the novel? To answer all of these questions, give specific examples from the novel.
Steven Mallory tells Roark that he fears there is something like a “drooling beast of prey” that is hanging over the world. What do we learn from the rest of the book about what is the object of Mallory’s fear and in what way is it like a beast of prey? How does Roark help Mallory and others learn to overcome it? How does Roark’s success in helping his friends combat this fear relate to the theme of the novel? To answer all of these questions, give specific examples from the novel.
In her introduction to the 25th-anniversary edition of The Fountainhead, Ayn Rand writes that she removed a quotation by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche from the head of her manusсrіpt because of “profound” disagreement with his philosophy. How can we see her repudiation of Nietzsche’s worldview illustrated in the story of The Fountainhead? How can the plot be interpreted as illustrating the reasons for which she rejects the Nietzschean ideas she claims to reject (in this introduction and elsewhere)? How does Rand’s rejection of Nietzsche’s philosophy relate to the novel’s theme? Explain your answers by reference to particular characters’ specific actions and their consequences.
