SELECT ONE OF THE FOLLOWING THREE TOPICS
A) Describe a situation in your own life when you faced a conflict between doing what you truly thought would advance your own goals in life, and doing what was approved of by society. What do you think Roark would decide to do in such a situation? What would Keating decide? Explain your answers by citing scenes from The Fountainhead. What decision did you make, and how would you compare it to Roark's and Keating's likely decisions?
B) In an editorial defending Roark, Wynand writes: "It is precisely the self that cannot and must not be sacrificed. It is the unsacrificed self that we must respect in man above all." What does The Fountainhead have to say about what it means to actually have a "self"? Illustrate by giving examples of major and minor characters who are described in ways that suggest that they either have or lack a self.
C) The novel opens with the line "Howard Roark laughed." What things does Roark laugh at in this scene, and in other scenes? Give a few examples from the book. Later in a scene with Keating, Toohey reveals that part of his method is to "kill by laughter." What things does Toohey laugh at? Give a few examples. What is different about the things Roark and Toohey laugh at? Explain how the contrast reflects wider themes in the novel.
