Blog Three Fountainhead

1.) Gail Wynand is a brilliant individual who rose out of the slums by means of his own talent and effort. But despite his reverence for man's noblest achievements, his newspaper presents lurid, loathsome values to the most vulgar people. Why does Wynand pander in this manner? What is the meaning of such a self-betrayal?
Gail Wynand is a brilliant individual ,but yet he faces issues with excepting the events that has become in tangled in. He finds his self in an area of his life where he is putting his feelings in his own way of what his true emotions are.
3.) What is Toohey's overall purpose on The New York Banner? What is his overall purpose in regard to society in general? Dominique warns Wynand against Toohey, but he is too contemptuous of Toohey to heed her. Is Dominique correct in her assessment of Toohey's actual motives?
Toohey purpose of The New York Banner is bigger then what others may see. Often the things that are recalled is conveyed in such a way by the reader where as it is misunderstood. The articles in The New York Banner is actually tyring to give credit to the person creating the sulpctors indirectly without actually stating the facts of what she is doing.
4.) What is Dominique's motive in marrying Wynand, for becoming "Mrs. Wynand Papers"? Does it bear any similarity to her reason for marrying Keating? Does she accomplish the goal she set out to reach? Tie this discussion to the quote from Nietzsche--that nobility of soul is not to be lost--that the author cites in the "Introduction" to the 25th anniversary edition

"It is not the works, but the belief which is here decisive and determines the order of rank--to employ once more an old religious formula with a new and deeper meaning,--it is some fundamental certainty which a noble soul has about itself, something which is not to be sought, is not to be found, and perhaps, also, is not to be lost.--The noble soul has reverence for itself." (Friedrich Nietzche, Beyond Good and Evil.)
There is a possibilty of many reasons why Dominique married Wynand. Dominique motives could be sincere or.)
2.) Toohey presents Mallory's sculpture of Dominique to Wynand in an effort to bring Dominique and Wynand together. What is the purpose of Toohey's scheme? Why does he need something to distract Wynand's attention away from his newspaper?

I believe that Toohey has multiple reasons for trying to reconnect Dominique and Wynand together. The first and foremost reason is to get the Stoneridge contract for Peter Keetin which is Dominique's husband. Dominique to me is selfish only thinking about herself tring to act as if she is concerned. I think that that she tried to lead him away so that she could enter into his columns to have the freedom and involvement to say what she wants to. Toohey is already highly respected by a majority of their society. Being that all of his intentions are to make ever one else happy as well as his self hiding from where can't see the reality of the situation.
5.) Why does Wynand fall deeply in love with Dominique? Do they share noble qualities in common? Have they made a similar mistake? Because of Wynand's undeniable virtues, do Dominique's feelings for him change?
Wynand falls for Dominique, somehow in the same way that she fell for Roark. Dominique is a person who considers herself perfect so while doing so she encourages herself to do things to justify her beliefs. Like mostly all people can find things in common with another ,but for them this is very little. They have both made mistakes, but Dominique had no choice about hers and Wynand doesn't see his as mistakes. Dominique starts begins to care for him but it hasn't developed into the same love that she has for Roark.
