“He held her as if his flesh had pierced hers and she felt the bones of his arms on the bones of her ribs, his legs pressed together against hers, his mouth on hers” (Rand 216). The narrator begins the scene by describing every detail and providing insight into Dominique and Roark's current situation, which dwells on the sexual tension between them. The scenes leading up to this make it clear that these two people want each other. Although this doesn't necessarily make sex consensual, while sex is necessary. If Roark had not raped Dominique, she would never have been able to free herself. Despite the popular belief that it's not rape if you take advantage of it, Roark raped Dominique. Indeed, rape can be defined as forced or unwanted sexual relations, aimed at obtaining power. However, this inaccurate expression that rape is not rape when enjoyed is often used in situations where rape takes place and the victim first protests and then starts enjoying herself; that's exactly what happened in this scene. "She lay still in his arms, in the first moment, in shock at feeling his skin against hers, the thing she had thought of, had expected, had never known it was like this, didn't couldn't have known, because that wasn't the case. a part of life, but something that we cannot endure for more than a second” (Rand 216). Dominique was frightened by these violent actions and did not know what to do; because of this, many people place the blame on Dominique by claiming that she didn't fight against this, making the sex consensual, but they are wrong. “She fought like an animal. But she didn't make any sound. She didn’t call for help” (Rand 216). She fought and fought against it, even if she didn't call for help it doesn't matter because if she had called for help chances are no one would would not have heard it. Besides not calling for help, she was doing everything she could to not submit to him. Letting him take control of her was something she didn't want to allow, so she had to fight as long as she could. “She tried to tear herself away from him” (Rand 216). As she continued to try to pull herself away, it was not effective, so rather than continuing to struggle, she simply submitted to him..
