Dominique see's the greatness in Roark's buildings that no one else but Toohey see's. She can't stand the idea of Roark wasting his greatness on men who will never understand it. Yes, he says he loves her, but it is still debating if he really means what he say or if she loves him. It's easy to say, but everyone knows actions speak louder than words. If he loves her but does her wrong we ask ourselves why stay. Did she get that love at her young age?
If not, now she willing to do anything for it. He does not care what the world does with his finished buildings but insists on finishing his buildings as he wishes. Unable to tolerate this kind of compromise, Roark must destroy the mediocrity to maintain his integrity. Subjectivism accords primacy to subjective experience as fundamental of all measure and law. The opposite of objective morality is subjective morality. While there are strong morals shared by most of humanity, such as killing, many morals are subjective as to whether or not they are correct.

Theoretical sympathy for the masses motivates Toohey, who sees the accomplishments of great men as insults to the millions who cannot achieve greatness in their own right. He knows that he will never join the ranks of the elite, so instead of wasting his energy attempting to join them, he attempts to destroy them. He believes that if he can convince the world that mediocrity is the greatest of attributes, if he can rob mankind of its idealism and hope, if he can flatten all of society into a smooth mass of unexceptional men, then he can become a great man.
In order to achieve his goals, Toohey employs the language and arguments of religion and socialism. Rand was both a staunch atheist and a great antisocialist. She found that both religion and socialism ask humans to renounce themselves for a greater good. Furthermore, the line indicates one of the characteristics of Greek tragedy, which is dramatic irony.
Creon makes an edict, which sets his fortune dwindling from there, for surely, it will clash with people who have strong family ties and. In isolation, the greatest sin we commit against others and ourselves is to shun human companionship, as Miss Haversham did. After her betrayal in love, she hardened her heart towards her fellow man. By hardening her heart and suppressing her naturally affectionate nature, she committed a crime against herself.
Miss Haversham's love for Compeyson was one of a compassionate kind, which blinded her to his true nature. He is a satanic hero because he uses his political eloquence to rebel, his isolation causes him to oppose all moral constraints, and he wears a mask of charisma to hide his selfish lust for power. In other words, Richard, like Satan, is elevated by heroic traits like alluring eloquence but is so deeply self-absorbed and bent on revenge that he precipitates his own destined downfall.
Richard is skilfully eloquent; however he chooses to convey this heroic trait satanically by using it to emphasize his rebellious nature against love, politics, and religion. Love is built upon reciprocated affection between two individuals, but Richard rebels by using it as a political tool, to the extent that he suggests incest at various points throughout the play.
