The Fountainhead

"TO TELL 'I LOVE YOU' ONE FIRST SHOULD KNOW HOW TO SPELL'I'."



Do you think this novel is against of some kind of socialism or say communism.?first look out the video and give the opnion.
I don't kno what people feel about it but i got one thing that this is the sense of self sufficiency and self confidence.when we do the work which gives us happiness regardless of what others think about it then only we feel satisfied .that is the moment we never forget or don't want to forget.GOD has made us all with some sort of will power to stand against the world for what we think as right.so as in this novel.The main character Howard roark, whome we can call the 'hero' of the story was a self -sufficent person.he only do the work what makes him happy.he called it the 'selfishness'.he loved his buildings and loved it not because people think they are beautiful but because the work of that building, the sketches what he made of that building made him happy.He never cared of peolpe opinion about them,never wanted fame infact never thought of it.he had his own ideology and he believes in them only.It may sound non-social to be thinking and living for ourself only ,but he was social in his own way.What he made out of his building is not only satisfies his own hunger but it suits the need of his clients to the full nbecause he never desined his buildings according to the need of society,but for the need of client or say building itself.Like other builders of his time he can have built the building who look magnificant but most uncomfortable to live in.He gave more imphasise to the comfort than to beauty of the building,he designed them not on the prevading architectural theme but with new and original theme that is best fitted in the area around.
Apart from it's architecrural background the novel gives the idea of the modern thinking.
To know yourself is most important than to be part of the society.the person who doesn't even kno what he is who can he be the part of society or any thing so collective....in the book itself there is the line what HOWARD ROARK....said.."before telling 'I love you ' one should know how to spell 'I'."
this could be said as the theme word for the novel ,as in whole of the novel ayn has tried to tell that people should do the work which gives them real satisfaction and happiness,not the work what people think is right but what there conscience says right.to believe in the truth what 'you think is truth' not what 'other might think as truth'.decide in your own way not the way people think.


A famous quote in this context that i want to produce here is ...

"madness is a rare phenomenon in individuals,but in group,political parties,nations ,and eras it's the rule."
-NIETZSCHE
