Chapter Eight

Chapter Eight starts with a high for me. Francon gives Roark a chance for what he was seemingly born to do. It’s a client who wants a building like that of which was designed by Henry Cameron. But because of Roark’s cold way of objecting to Francon’s ideas of what the building should be, Francon gets very upset and insulted by Roark. He fires him and Roark spends the rest of the chapter spiraling downward and even thinks that he may never build again.
