only to those who have read Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead?
He is an epitome of a man perhaps everyone must have wished to be.
What do you think of Howard Roark?
Is his existence possible or a mere idea that will remain to be just an ideal idea of what a man ought to be.

No. I wouldn't want to be any of the two-dimensional characters in Ayn Rand's novels. She is a very hypnotic writer and has a lot of punch in her stories, but her trick is to turn everything into black and white issues. The world she writes about doesn't exist and never will.

As much as I like Ayn Rand and her novels, Howard Roark is a completely emotionless figure. Of course, I can't say I agree with everything Ayn Rand says, because Howard Roark is her ideal human being.
I'd say Howard Roark is like 'V' from 'V for Vendetta', except Roark is a quiet fellow. H.R. is a revolutionary in his own right.
