I hadn't even thought there was a correlation between the two Roark(e)'s. <br /><br />As Kati said, I don't believe there's a connection, but I think it's wonderful that you put that together.<br /><br />Also, that picture...YUM!

In fact, I believe she stays pretty adamant that she doesn't base her characters on anyone in particular.<br /><br />I've not read <b>The Fountainhead</b>, but in reading the Wiki (admittedly not the most reliable source), I think as you read on in the <b>In Death</b> series, you'll find that Roarke has little to do with Roark. <br /><br />While IMO, the character of Roarke is a definite romantic ideal, he's a remarkably nuanced character with a ton of shades of gray (that's the beauty of a series of over 30 books, you get to know him really well). He is an ideal of sorts, but he's done lots of <b>Very Bad Things</b> in his past, and does not end up being someone to juxtapose Eve's darkness. He's just as dark -- but for the most part he handles it better than she does. Er...mostly.<br /><br />I dunno. This is just my opinion, YMMV.Katihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08178354927628992485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414093212095906246.post-68671916423870065922009-12-10T08:18:51.739-06:002009-12-10T08:18:51.739-06:00Chris: Oblio will go read them now!
