The Fountainhead: The Theme

The Fountainhead is a complex book and it’s theme is, as Ayn  Rand said, “Individualism v Collectivism, not in politics, in man’s  soul.” It’s a story about thinking through your own head or thinking  through someone else’s head, where each character acts according to a  certain code of values, but, not in the conventional way of thinking.  Ultimately, The Fountainhead a uniquely American novel about the pursuit of happiness.
