The public had mixed feelings about Hughes from "summary" of Empire: the Life, Legend, and Madness of Howard Hughes by Donald L. Bartlett
Howard Hughes was a man of many contradictions, and as such, it was no surprise that the public's perception of him was equally complex. Some viewed him as a visionary pioneer, a brilliant entrepreneur who pushed the boundaries of technology and innovation. They admired his daring spirit and his willingness to take risks in pursuit of his goals. To these individuals, Hughes was a hero, a larger-than-life figure who embodied the American dream of success and achievement. However, not everyone saw Hughes in such a positive light. There were those who viewed him as a reclusive eccentric, a paranoid recluse who shunned the spotlight and lived in a world of his own making. They saw him as a man consumed by his own demons, haunted by his past and unable to connect with the world around him. To these individuals, Hughes was a tragic figure, a cautionary tale of the dangers of unchecked ambition and unchecked power. The public's mixed feelings about Hughes were further complicated by the various scandals and controversies that surrounded him. His turbulent personal life, his eccentric behavior, and his legal battles all contributed to a sense of unease and uncertainty among the public. Some saw him as a victim of his own success, while others saw him as a villain who had brought his troubles upon himself. Despite the conflicting opinions about him, one thing was clear: Howard Hughes was a man who defied easy categorization. He was a complex and enigmatic figure, a man of contradictions and contrasts. And it was this very complexity that made him such a fascinating and polarizing figure in the eyes of the public. Love him or hate him, admire him or revile him, one thing was certain – Howard Hughes was a man who could not be ignored.
