Good evening. I need help. I desperately want to finish The Fountainhead, but once again I've hit the same point in the novel and can't get any farther.

Dominique Francon has just toured the Enright House, and in her subsequent article she suggests that the world would be better off if the house was destroyed in an air raid.

For the third time, I've gotten so mad at Howard Roark that I cannot keep reading. Roark knows that Dominique is doing everything she can to ruin him, yet he continues to sleep with her, and considering she knows so much about the commissions he's trying to get, I have to assume that he tells her about the ones he wants. With that knowledge, she dates disgusting men and plays nice with obnoxious women, just to sway them away from Roark and towards Peter Keating.

Not only is Roark willingly (and gladly) walking in front of the firing squad, he's also bought the bullets, he's loaded the rifles, and he's putting on his own damned blindfold. He might as well be pulling the trigger as well.

I'd give my (insert body part here) to see Peter Keating and his mother and Ellsworth Toohey and all the rest staked to the ground and eaten by fire ants. But I have an idea what happens in the second half of the book, since I did some research about it before getting it, so I know that particular wish won't come true.

But I'm looking for a nudge to help me clear this hurdle, as it has tripped me up three times in three attempts. I just can't get past what Roark is doing to himself, his career, his life.

Help!
