Shelton, Robert. "Ayn Rand: The Russian Radical/ Anthem: Expanded 50Th Anniversary Edition (Book Review)." Utopian Studies 8.1 (1997): 225. Academic Search Complete. Web. 20 Dec. 2011.

Argument: Rand's creation of her characters and plot elements in such away that she illustrates her ideal world, make the Fountainhead a good novel. Claims: Roark and Dominique are ideal characters. Roark foils Toohey in the sense that his[Roark's] motives are completely selfish, in hopes of him living his life its fullest capacity, while Toohey acts in an altruistic manner to control other. Dominique helps other characters "grow" by destroying them. This is how Roark, Keating, and Wynand grow stronger. Evidence: Analyzations of character's based on their actions and behaviors in the book.
