Dagny Taggart and Hank Rearden comparison

                                                        Dagny Taggart and Hank Rearden


            As the strong female character, Dagny Taggart can be compared to many of the other character in this book but one particular character is described in the same light as Dagny. Hank Rearden and Dagny Taggart seem almost identical in various ways. Their work ethics and personality match perfectly.
            Both Hank Rearden and Dagny Taggart have similar work ethics that constantly connect them to each other throughout the story. While most characters believe work is something you must do but should not enjoy it, Hank and Dagny work because it brings them joy. They both feel at ease while working and only seem to care about their work.  Dagny believes in working for the profit in the same way Hank only cares about increasing his business. Dagny and Hank are willing to do anything they can to keep their business up and running and will not take no for an answer. Their drive to succeed and out compete everyone and anyone is what connects them together the most.

According to acquaintances and family members of both Hank and Dagny, they are antisocial, hard workers, conceded, and not normal. The two tend to keep to themselves and try to avoid any conversation that will distract them form their work. Dagny and Hank connect on a personal level apart from a professional level. Hank and Dagny open up to each other more than they would to anyone else. They tend to dislike the same people and are constantly described in the manner from those who do not know them. They both have similar ambitions for their companies and disregard what others have to say about them.  As these two dynamic characters continue to interact, their similarities continue to grow.
