Peter keating the fountainhead5/22/2023 He later comes to her home and rapes her (though she essentially invited him to), an event that leaves Dominique filled with a possessiveness for Roark that drives her into the arms of another man. Roark and Dominique first see each other while the former is working in a quarry owned by the latter's father. The story is also about Dominique Francon, a woman torn between two loves - not of men but of power, pleasure, and a self-dominance she grows to understand through her relationship with Roark. His pleasure is in the act of creation, and his calm, reserve, and selfishness are woven together into a person Rand means for us to admire and emulate. He is an idealist, and an aspiring architect who will never compromise his work ethics for the whims and fancies of the establishment and whose plans and goals are waylaid at every end by "the hostility of second-hand souls". The hero, Howard Roark, is an ideal of Rand's Objectivist philosophy. Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.
