=== [[Atlas Shrugged]] ===
Most readers of this novel by [[Ayn Rand]] mistakenly identify [[John Galt]] as the hero. This is not correct, because [[John Galt]] and his two friends, [[Francisco d'Anconia]] and [[Ragnar Danneskjold]], are single-minded men who do not allow anyone's feelings, either theirs or those of any other persons, to deter them from their goals. Because their cause happens to be just, they qualify as anti-villains rather than heroes.

The two heroes of ''[[Atlas Shrugged]]'' are, of course, [[Dagny Taggart]] and [[Henry Rearden]]. Each of these characters must make a life-changing decision and a re-evaluation of the world and its conventions in order to achieve their personal goals.
