Wynand and Roark both share a difficult past, and untamed thoughts for their time. While Roark puts these ideas into his buildings and uses his past as motivation for his future, Wynand allows society's acrimony to strip away his prominence and completely transform him. Wynand also enjoys the power he possesses over people, and Roark refuses to have control over anything at all except his buildings. Keating on the other hand acquires an imperfect definition of success and manipulates others in order to gain what he desires in life. Both characters allow other people to guide them through their lives rather than forming a life of their own. Keating will use other's creations and take credit for it, and Wynand will listen to the opinions of society and give them what they want to hear in his paper. When Wynand defends Roark he expresses, "All this power I wanted, reached, and never used[...] Now they'll see what I can do. I'll force them to recognize him as he should be recognized."(590). Although Wynand assumes that the power he has over people will allow him to express his thoughts, the media does not want to hear about it and his paper goes unread. He neglects his own advice of, "If you make people perform a noble duty, it bores them." (408). No one can appreciate the dignified opinion he attempts to express because they can no longer take him seriously. This is …show more content…
While he embraced in the power he was given, he only possessed it when society got what it wanted from him. Once he decided to be honorable, it was too late. The media had always known him and The Banner as foolish yet entertaining forms of gossip, and when he used it intelligence to assemble a benevolent article defending someone rather than attacking them, the people retract his power because it is no concern to them. The heinous inclination of society is what gives him a salary and delivers him the power that he had never had while living in his poor town as a child, without it he would be nothing. In order to maintain his position, he must serve the people what they ask, even if it means setting aside his own personal morals and
“Gail is the kind of woman you’d want to watch your back at a meeting with dubious characters. She will watch it, and she’ll guard your flank as well. And, when she is ready, she will send the opposition reeling. No matter how limited her weaponry, she is able to muster it.” (LaDuke, All Our Relations 75) LaDuke
Gail is the eldest sister in the Sapphires. She is a very protective of her sister and she blames herself if her sister gets in danger or they get in trouble because she thinks that she should prevent them from get hurt or trouble. “There's a reason that you're this... terrible mouth, and it’s very simple.

Over the portals of the Palace of the World Council, there are words cut in the marble, which we repeat to ourselves whenever we are tempted..." he tries but he cannot no matter what he tries to do.

Gail Hayden comes from North Dakota, a place with different morals and values compared to Bentrock.

Gail then realised Kay did not fully forget their culture as Kay talks about their people.
Gail’s ascendancy is further demonstrated at the beginning of the third paragraph, “Once she’d thoroughly trounced me in public, Gail ignored me and held court in her own corner every playtime.” (ll 21-22). This also represents Gail’s physical advantage and her independent ability of holding court in her “own corner”. Regardless of their conflicts, however, the narrator seems to admire Gail, which further demonstrates the idea of Gail’s supremacy; describing her as, “wiry and graceful” (l 19) and “she was so physically confident, in charge of her body even when she was five.”(ll
