So far the fountainhead is a character vs society story and Howard Roark is the character. He is faced with the society/city not caring or taking in anything he does. But he does not care for it and it doesn’t seem to affect him. The town doesn’t look at any of his sketches, they also don’t pay attention to the jobs he has at the unpopular firm or his job at the Francon quarry.

Peter Keating is the antagonist, and Howard Roark is the protagonist. Peter graduated from the station institute and has a leading job at a popular firm, but Howard got expelled and has a low paying job at an un popular firm that is looked down upon. Roark is more talented but no one appreciates it yet. Peter often comes to Roark and asks for help but he knows that Roark is better.
