Wowww

That was an interesting ending.
A lot of things that were revealed in this chapter really stuck out to me, particularly John Galt being the worker that Eddie would always talk to. Eddie always talked to some worker that always asked him all about Dagny, and why he did this makes sense now because the worker is John Galt and he was always asking about Dagny because he has always been in love with Dagny! He has been searching for her and looking after her for the past 10 years... That shows to me that he actually really really likes Dagny. She tells him she loves him, when they have to separate to keep going with the plans. Even Hank, after he meets John, tells Dagny that he is understanding of her falling in love with him. That shows that John is a very important and admirable person.
When John gives his speech, he basically says that people should only live for themselves and base all their actions on their own benefit and contentedness. According to his speech, the most important things in life are self esteem, purpose, and being able to reason, and that looters value the total opposite -- death, greed, and pain as a way of getting things done. He mentions Dagny as his love in this speech.

Dagny never failed to keep surprising me as I read these last few chapters of the novel. Dagny has ultimately proved that she is strictly business and cares to do only what will benefit her and what she loves to do (serving as an example of the perfect person according to Galt's speech) -- run her railroads. Dagny reaches the extent of killing somebody to get what she wants. That was actually pretty shocking. I did not think she would reach that point. But, because of her strength to basically murder the guard, she was able to save John. John is the man that she has always desired because he is very determined.

Francisco is actually really supportive in these chapters, saying that if John is ever in danger to just call him and Dagny does so, and Francisco pulls through to save John.

The novel ends with all of them going back to Atlantis, Dagny and Hank included, and John drawing his significant dollar sign in the air, which Dagny drew on the Nat Taggart statue as a sign that she is willing to join the strike.
