Fountain Head Essay

     Individualism, the only element which makes a person's character unique.  In the Fountain Head, a character binds true to this belief and goes by the name of Howard Roark.  This young architect who had his own viewpoint of the world and how he envisioned it, was condemned by the media and the public by doing so.  Roark's lifestyle completely perpendiculates the mundane lifestyle that the average citizen lives.  Roark conforms to only what he considers valid in his own conscience.

This temple was looked down upon because it did not conform to the ancient styles of architecture.  Due to the amount of uniqueness found in the temple, it opposed the conventional view that life required conformity.
