QUESTION #1

Wynand is thinking of suicide because he, in my opinion, hates society, but goes along with it because it would be too difficult to go against it like Roark does. He creates a paper that is corrupt, like society and also because he is corrupt himself.

Dominique saves Wyand because she marries him, and finally makes him happy. He has never been happy before, and now with Dominique, he knows how it truly feels.

QUESTION #2

Dominique arrives just in time to save Wynand. This is because of Toohey. Toohey introduces Wynand to a structure of Dominique, which Wynand falls in love with.

I believe that Toohey did this because he wants Wynand to forget about the paper so he can run it. In my opinion, if it wasn't for Dominique accepting to marry Wynand, he would still control the paper, something that Toohey doesn't want. Wyand worked hard and backstabbed everyone just to release this paper, and now, someone is taking over.

QUESTION #3

Dominique warns Wynand that Toohey is replacing everyone that he appointed and putting people in charge that aren't able. She warns him and he doesn't seem to care.

Dominique is correct in every manner to warn him. She is trying to protect the one that keeps Wynand sane. She knows this, and this is why she warns him.


QUESTION #5

Wynand falls in love with Dominique in this part of the book. Dominique agrees to marry Wynand because in some strange way, he is something like Roark. He is strong and somewhat corrupt in his society. This, in a way, turns her on, like he did when she meet Roark.

Dominique treats Wynand differently than she did Keating. Because he is like Roark, she likes that mystery and strength that she had with Roark, but can get from him also. However, she later realizes that Wynand is nothing like Roark, and apologizes for marrying him.
