blogg two

1. I think that Dominque resists physially because she seems to just know that the only way things could be between her and Howard. I believe the thoght of not being in control of a situation is a kind of pleasure in its on to her although she dests it. To me its really confusing, seems to me welcoming pain.
The quote by Ayn Rand if it is rape, “ then it is rape by engraved invitation.”, to me is saying it's not rape because there was some sort of silent understanding with the two parties.
I do not in any way believe that what happened was raped although on the outside looking in it would seem that way. When Roark came into her room she had every opertunity to scream out and say, hey there is this psych man in my home violating my privacy and forcefully making me do things I don't want to do but she didn't. It was like here I am now what are you going to do. So no Dominique was not an unwilling "victim" but a happy participant in a perverted sex scene.


4. When Keating and Roark are at the party, Heating gave Roark the advice to be what people wanted him to be, the meaning is to be a people pleaser. Although it might not be who or what you actually are be submissive to becoming a fraud. In simpler terms the advice is to be fake in every way the word means.
And Keating believes this because that's what he does. That's what he has been exposed to, absorbed, and learned to do which is put up a facid and go with the flow. If you are asked do you play basketball lie your but off about it to gain a hand on what you want.
An approach to life as don't be you, be what people want shows a lot about that persons soul. It says to me that the person standing here in my face is underhanded and crooked and get what they think is wanted from others including loved ones by any means necessary.



7. In question seven Elsworth Toohey is trying to destroy Roark. I believe that Toohey is a bit crazy to me and has a god complex.I feel that in some way elsworth is threatened by Roark and what he stands for although he doesn't know much about Roark.
I think that Toohey branded Roark as an enemy of religon because of what Roark stands for. I really don't understand the reason for Toohey to want to end Roarks career.



9. The cause of Mallorys cynicism is because society has gotten to him and is weighed by the judgement. The thing that saves Mallory was that Roark only like his work and didn't care for anything but that. Roark didn't show pity by giving him work because he needed the money and it helped Mallory get a grip.
