Even though we can come almost 2/3 of the way through the book, there has still been no conclusion on who John Galt is. At this point, I am beginning to feel he is not real. There have been many speculations, such as he is the discoverer of Atlantis or he tried to bottle the fountain of youth. Or the more realistic theory, that he was a worker who fought the communist system. Either way, I believe that he is more of a thought than an actual person. That later in the novel some big ideology will be revealed with him as the symbol of it all (Much like the John Galt Line). And whenever people think of the name John Galt they will think of these newly imposed high morals for everyone to follow.
Between this still gaping hole that his John Galt, and all the other tragedy that is happening. The novel is becomming increasingly more drawing. I finally am gaining the urge to actually want to read and see what is to come of everyone. What will happen to Rearden after he hands things over, who is John Galt, what will happen now that Directive 10-289 is being put in place, who is John Galt, will Dagny survive the crash?, WHO IS JOHN GALT!?!?!?!
