It is evident that Dagny can be
seen as the powerful individual in the company. I found myself constantly
fascinated with the decisions that Dagny makes in order to make Taggart
Continental successful. She is trying to
save the company and her brother seems to be miserably moping in his office,
making him seem like the women. I was furious when I read that Jim took full
credit for removing all his valuable assets from the San Sebastian Railroad,
when in fact Dagny was the one to remove everything and save his money.
As the story progressed I found it
interesting that two perspective of who John Galt is came up in chapter VI and
VII. From one perspective he is described as being a millionaire who discovered
Atlantis, and Francisco reassures this statement. I found Francisco this
proclaimed businessman who doesn’t seem to care that he blew his chance to
become a billionaire to be rather discontent even though he doesn’t seem to
express it. As well, the second perspective describes Galt as the founder of
the fountain of youth. I feel as though these interpretations of Galt might
actually be somewhat true. Personally I feel as though he might be a millionaire
who is young and this might resemble the fountain of youth. Hopefully as we
progress though the story we will find the answer to who Galt actually is.
I found it ironic how it seemed as
though Dagny was in power of the company the whole time and in chapter VII she
eventually resigns from the down falling Taggart Transcontinental in order to start
her own railroad company. Her company surprisingly will be called the John Galt
Line. I don’t understand why she would call it this, since it has no correlation
to her whatsoever but hopefully that will be explained later.
