What I find most pressing in these chapters is the “new”
relationship between Hank Rearden and Dagny Taggart. I use quotation marks
because in no way are the feelings new, simply the actions. This relationship
is to me the most intriguing of all so far in the novel due to the fact that it
goes beyond just words. Dagny and Rearden are able to not only talk about how
they feel and influence each other, but they are also able to understand one
another. Feeling the same way about many topics, like work and the public, help
them to feel like they are always in the same situation. They can look across a
room at each other and in a second simply understand how the other person feels
and why they feel this way.
This
relationship seems to me as it will be one that will last because of the
understanding they have between each other. Words are superfluous in their
relationship most of the times because they truly recognize what they have to
offer each other.
Another
aspect of this relationship that I like is the fact that they are able to
motivate each other. They are both aware of their greatness and remain humble,
wanted themselves to push even further to greater discoveries. In my eyes, this
relationship could only lead to great things and the growth of already tremendous
minds.
