After reading this section of this novel, I was left feeling like I needed to accomplish something seeing how capable antagonist Dagny Taggart is. Dagny Taggart’s completion of the Río Norte Line was surely revolutionary during this time period for a woman, but would have been certainly notable in even today’s times. This portion of the novel seemed to illustrate the resilience and perseverance of Dagny Taggart. The “real brains” behind Taggart Transcontinental Dagny Taggart did so well in the face of catastrophe that it seems obvious that she should be the head of the Taggart Railroad. After the passage of the legislation named The Equilization of Opportunity Bill, nearly everyone in the Taggart Company was left shocked and scared for their future, including head of the company James Taggart. It was Dangy Taggart who defied all odds and finished the Río Norte line, what was described as a pivotal aspect of the nation’s future success. Naming the company the “John Galt Line” seems particularly fitting for Dagny Taggart as it shocks everyone who hears it, just like Dagny herself. Dagny’s success seems to be growing hand in hand with a relationship with Hank Reardon. As a reader, I cannot help but hope for the two to start an intimate relationship. Both are disliked in jealousy, but notoriously amazing at what they do. Together, they could rule both the railroad and mineral industries. I predict that this hope will not become an actualization further on in this story because Dagny still seems attached to her first love Francisco D’Anconia. This section most clearly illustrated, above all, how calm and collected Dagny Taggart can be in the face of chaos to accomplish anything she wants. I continue reading wondering if Dagny will over fail at anything she does.
