It is easy
so assume Dagny and Rearden’s similarities; they’re both entrepreneurs they
both have one of the most powerful business enterprises in the country and they
practically both despise their family’s and life outside the office. But it is their relationship that interests
me more than what they have in common.
Dagny and
Hank Rearden at the beginning of the novel had a very well formed relationship,
Dagny gives Rearden her blessing with the very expensive yet unreliable Rearden
metal, I for one took that action as a sign of trust and friendship in her
part, and it was easy to decipher from Rearden’s part that he did too. But as
the novel begins to progress I noticed a change in Rearden’s attitude towards
Dagny, it was peculiar, suspicious as if he hated her from one day to the
other. As the question of why he suddenly hated her was left unanswered, I got
to the point in which they both were together alone. In Rearden’s tone
everything seemed to be jolly good, but it was when he lies to Dagny about going
to New York so he wont take her is when the issue becomes something of
importance, I asked myself several questions too, like “Why was he being like
this?” and “Why was he changing attitudes towards her so often?” It was
questions like this that were slowly answered as I read along, but also it was
the negative attitude Rearden had towards Dagny that gave me the drive to
continue reading.
