I found this section of our reading, and the novel to be one of the most interesting parts that I have read so far.
I was never expecting any of the characters that disappeared earlier in the
book to reappear in an environment that seemed to embody clarity. I couldn’t agree
more with your statement that Galt seemed to embody characteristics of a
godlike figure. As I progressed through my reading was truly when I found the
correlation and I noticed that Galt almost seems to resemble the character of
Meursault. Galt is able to have knowledge and experience but he retains
clarity. Personally I think Rand does this for a reason, she wants to express
that it is possible to be successful but you must have the knowledge of the
path it take to get their from the bottom. She gives these characteristics to
Galt and it shows us that being selfless can in essence be just as good as
being selfish. Understanding this concept I felt is what helped me realize why
Galt is the kind of renown and well respected person that he is and hopefully
Dagny can learn to accept this fact.
