Each and every individual in this planet is a mixture of Roark, Dominique, Keating, Wynand & Toohey. How different pieces of Earth are made into different materials of use, each one have their own purpose.
But to extract the most precious stone, say a Diamond like Howard Roark, it takes time and pain. Until then we have to be satisfied with Fakes of Roark, who carry his Mask, all the time, in their life time, but who actually are the Keatings & Toohey's.
The best example is Ram Gopal Varma.
He is as vulnerable as Peter Keating, as brilliant as Ellsworth Toohey, but considers himself as the Howard Roark.

u mean an amalgam?
ReplyDeleteNo.. a fake.
ReplyDeletebut i always felt RGV as the Henry Cameron.
ReplyDeleteYou got it right. Just like Henry Cameron, he is loosing his integrity to the sheer pressure from strangely not from outside but from inside
ReplyDeletebut rgv never called himself as a roark...he even refused and accepted the fact that if u try to become roark u at least reach 20% of him...in blog he honestly said as an answer to the one of question if satyendra(rgv's friend) is roark i even have the eligibility to call myself as peter keating...i think u completely understand the rgv in negative manner.
ReplyDeleteCmon Chaitanya! you are missing the point here. Roark never worried about existence of Keating or Toohey. Roark is nothing but a flow directed towards his single point agenda.."To Architect"
