Through my reading I am faced with
another huge plot point, Francisco and Dagny kissing. Francisco goes to meet
Dagny while she is on her break at her cabin. When Francisco and Dagny meet, it
reminded me of how they would meet when they were children. He walked up the
hill to her and they said hi and called each other their child hood nicknames.
I found it interesting that they kissed after their child hood like meeting. I
am left to wonder what is going to happen to Dagny and Francisco? Even though
she says no after they kiss, the novel states that during the kiss, Dagny
“confessed her desire, confessed an acknowledgement she had always given him
and always would”(pg. 565). If Dagny will always have that desire does that
mean her and Francisco are going to get back together? If they get back
together what is going to happen to Hank Rearden? Clearly I am let with many
questions after this plot point.
I
am also left to wonder if the Taggart Transcontinental is done for good? After departure
of Dagny and the comet catastrophe, it seems that it’s hopeless for the Taggart
Transcontinental. I feel that if the Taggart Transcontinental falls, there is
no hope for the other businesses. The looters will win and every person will
lose all their money. The destruction of the comet means the destruction of the
Taggart Transcontinental. The comet was the best train the company had and the
only hope the company had. However, Dagny is coming back and I think she will
be able to fix the company. The problem is that I think that her efforts are to little and
to late. I fear that the Taggart Transcontinental is done for good.
