A number of characters very early in the story of Atlas Shrugged are obviously concerned with the concept of goodness and what qualities constitute a good person and what qualities do not. not to this definition. This sometimes comes out in the author's sarcasm, although these characters are obsessed with expressing their opinions, that their ideas of right are not right. In fact, their desire to talk incessantly solves nothing and devalues ​​the meaning of almost every word. This same group of people adheres to the philosophy that there are no absolutes and that no one is really right or wrong, because there is always a middle or "gray" area. The self-proclaimed “enlightened” person’s view of goodness primarily included these things. that we are supposed to feel with the heart. Some of them were articulated as follows: self-sacrifice, brotherly love, selflessness, self-denial, and the value of feelings over thoughts. A good person in their eyes would enslave themselves to this ideal because it was for the good of “the people”. Although this is the ideal of voice, not everyone who subscribes to these beliefs is. James Taggert, for example, did not give up all his wealth for the good of the people; he believed it, but it was up to others to do so. Just because he married a saleswoman from nothing doesn't equate to the "brotherly love" he expects from someone like Henry Rearden. She was Jim's accessory to display the idea that he was more enlightened than his friends. The hypocrisy continues when Lillian Rearden approached Taggert to persuade him to stop her divorce from Henry Rearden and one of her arguments was due to his inevitable poverty. Taggert was offended that she would even talk about such topics since this middle of paper allows producers to promote, preserve and use their achievements. The ultimate mark of the victory of good over evil in Atlas Shrugged is the recognition of the three original individuals who initiated the producers' strike and who chose to open their Atlantis to other like-minded thinkers and invite those who are like-minded to join the Galt's Gully community. Here it is evident that because value is placed on gains, pride, achievements, and desires do not make one materialistic; they free themselves from this thought by their choice. Although he would probably be offended, the story that comes to mind and has a similar beginning likens Galt to the Noah of the Bible, he saves the best of humanity to start the world anew. Galt's version of good overcoming evil is a testimony to what true brotherly love truly encompasses. Works Cited Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
