The end of part one opened a huge
door of curiosity in my mind. Although there were questions that I previously
had that got answered, many new ones came about and I am eager to find the
answers to them. Chapter VIII was definitely one that foreshadows the course of
the John Galt lines success in the remaining two chapters for part I. I was
furious when Rearden sold his ore mines to Paul Larkin because it’s as if
Rearden was oblivious to Taggart and Larkin’s plan to in essence destroy
Rearden, and his successful business. Also to make matters worse Wesley Mouch
betrays Rearden and resigns. I couldn’t believe Mouch’s decision, and it seems
like Rearden’s future is not very bright. To end the chapter though it finished
with a final surprise. Although Dagny and Rearden had some sort of affection
towards each other earlier, I would have never believed that it would have led
up to them making love at the end of this chapter.
After making love to Dagny I
thought Rearden would have felt accomplished and happy. But on the contrary he
felt this need to tell her that he was disgusted by the fact that they made
love. As the chapter continues though I realized
that the plot shifted. When Dagny and Rearden discover the motor. This is because
before the discovery, Dagny's main goal was to build the John Galt Line. Now,
she feels entitled to discovering the secret of the motor. I like how she is always
looking for knew ways to help improve the success of her business. She
especially needs to find the inventor because at the moment with all the new
rules being put in place her success will be diminished.
