1. Wynand has one set of morals that he uses, but his newspaper uses an opposing set. Wynand choose to follow societies rules and morals, while hiding his real self from everyone. Therefore, he created the biggest newspaper in the U.S. by backstabbing He discovered that putting corrupt stories into print made better sales than good samaritan stories.Wynand has forced himself to go along with the corrupt collective society around him, and, by doing this, causes himself emotional pain. He has entered a secret depression from the long-term effects of his lifestyle and is on the verge of suicide.Dominique saves him from his spiral of death and prolongs , inevitable.


2. why did Toohey presents Wynand with the statue of Dominique. His intentions benefit himself as well as Wynand and Dominique. First of all, Wynand benefits because he falls in love with Dominique and marries her. Dominique benefits because she sees Wynand as someone who is more of a threat to her true love, Roark. Later on, though, she sees him as Roark who merely acts corrupt like Keating and Toohey.But for Toohey, the benefits are far better. He wishes for Wynand to be happy and distracted. He hopes both of these wishes will be furfilled simultaneously. The distraction will give Toohey a chance to initate a coup on the Banner. Ironically, Toohey wants Wynand to be happy, and he wants to take over the Banner as well, two things that contradict each other. Like I said, Toohey's intentions are complex.Wynand falls in love with Dominique.


5. Dominique realizes that Wynand has the qualities of a perfect man. Because of this, she sees him not as torture for not finding perfection, but as a similar person to Roark. Her conflicting emotions make her question her knowledge of Toohey. Because she sees the real Wynand, she tells him what she feels.Her presence with Wynand is strange. She tries to treat him as she did Keating, but she occasionally treats him like Roark. These conflicts, in turn, make her wonder how she didn't know the real Wynand beforehand. She realizes that Wynand is Roark, except he chose to hide his individualist self and played by societies rules. This threw Dominique off after she married him.Dominique visits Roark for a variety of purposes, some obvious and others unnoticeable.


6. Dominique visits Roark because she wants to give him another chance. She asks him to give up architecture because she doesn't want the world to see his work. Roark refuses to accept her wishes because he realizes that she doesn't want him to follow his dreams ,she wants him to not furfill his dreams and live. Roark doesn't want society, or even Dominique, to force him to give up his individualism. Dominique visits Roark for other reasons. One is because she yearns for his presence, even though she had been torturing herself by marrying Keating. Another reason is because she truly can't forget him, as evident when she sees Wynand as Roark. Dominique's meeting with Roark is questionably one of her greater moments in the story, as her entire purpose and intentions are revealed in one scene
