Fincher said Fight Club was a coming of age film, like the 1967 film The Graduate but for people in their 30s. Fincher described the narrator as an "everyman";[5] the character is identified in the script as "Jack", but left unnamed in the film.[6] Fincher outlined the narrator's background: "He's tried to do everything he was taught to do, tried to fit into the world by becoming the thing he isn't." The narrator cannot find happiness, so he travels on a path to enlightenment in which he must "kill" his parents, his god, and his teacher. At the start of the film, he has killed his parents. With Tyler Durden, he kills his god by doing things they are not supposed to do. To complete the process of maturing, the narrator has to kill his teacher, Tyler Durden.[7] …show more content…
While Tyler is who the narrator would want to be, he is not empathetic and does not help the narrator face decisions in his life "that are complicated and have moral and ethical implications". Fincher explained, "[Tyler] can deal with the concepts of our lives in an idealistic fashion, but it doesn't have anything to do with the compromises of real life as modern man knows it. Which is: You're not really necessary to a lot of what's going on. It's built, it just needs to run now."[5] While studio executives worried that Fight Club was going to be "sinister and seditious", Fincher sought to make it "funny and seditious" by including humor to temper the sinister

Greenspan’s book was very eye opening. Being a child in the early 70’s, I grew up watching the first families of color on television, I thought that was normal, not realizing that George Jefferson living in a penthouse was so important. Jack Tripper of Three’s Company-living with two women, again I was watching women who seemed liberated, it never occurred to me that the television sit coms I had grown to love were actual snap shots in a world that was just becoming new territory. Raised the oldest of three girls my parents always told us we could do whatever we wanted in life, to be independent, to think for your own, and most important not to let any man tell us what to do, except for my dad, of course. In reading the Greenspan book I
In the novel Monster the main character is Steve and he is in court and jail for being accused of a murder and robbery. I believe that Steve is innocent in this particular case. The main reason why they are seeing Steve so differently is because he black. I agree with what Steve's defense attorney said which was “the jury already knew their opinion as soon as they saw him walk in.” They saw an African American troubled teen walk into the courtroom who looks like he knows something. In addition, in court they barely let Steve tell his side of the story. I think he had nothing to do with this robbery/murder. He seems like he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Steve says to O’brien “ aren’t you are innocent till proven guilty.” Surprisingly
In Chuck Palahniuk's novel Fight Club the main character is in fact never named throughout the book. He’s never called by his name or even speaks of it. We’re forced to view in the 3rd person, the events and life of this character and the battle he endeavors with insomnia and the suspicions friends that he meets. Tyler Durden comes along when the narrator is in need of a friend and turns out being a terrible influence, but is his closest friend. It was his idea to start the fight club to let out frustrations and anger of everyday guys that want to walk into their boss’s office and upper cut them. Palahniuk’s usage of imagery, diction, and foreshadowing shows the physical, and psychological, battle that the narrator is enduring. The title of the novel suggest that the entirety of the story is about fighting. Though it is about fighting, it's not
I believe Jack created Tyler in order to find his masculinity. When Jack loses everything he has, he does not know how to cope with such an excessive amount of stress. At this point, he turns to Tyler. Together, the two of them create Fight Club, a new way for men to relieve their stress and find their strength. Jack confesses to Tyler that he never really knew his father because he abandoned him when he was about six years old. Since he was raised by his mother, this becomes the movie’s best indication of why he suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder. Jack never had a male role

Ryan Gilleo, friends, said: Tyler is a nerd, who does his work way early than he needs to. And also he is pretty funny.
Frank Castle, a fictional character known as “The Punisher”, is infamous for his brutal ways of eliminating criminals. By some, he could be considered sinister, cold-hearted, and having lack of human emotion. But as I observed this character interact with the world around him, I find it nearly impossible not to wonder what made this character become who he is. Although criminals cause harm and suffering, it is human instinct to hesitate on inflicting pain on anyone. So how is it that this character has the ability to commit such horrific acts of violence on criminals as if it were second nature? As my observation of this character continued, it had come to my knowledge that Castle had gone through witnessing the monstrous murder of his entire

Marla singer is another main character she is a young women who the Narrator encounters at the support groups. She too attends them searching for some sort of meaningful human interaction and, like the Narrator is faking her illnesses.
The movie ‘The Sixth Sense’ fits in the category of fantastic because it creates a hesitation between the reality and the supernatural. At first, Dr. Malcom Crowe looks more credible than Cole Sear because of the working-class status of Malcom which makes him more reliable as a narrator. Cole can see ghost, but maybe what he sees is an illusion because of the fact that his dad committed suicide. In other words, he may be mentally unstable because of this trauma which makes him less credible. In end of the movie, Malcom Crowe realised that he was dead the whole time through subtle evidences. A viewer could have overlooked the subtle evidences that the director has put and has already established that Dr.

The most prominent themes in the novel are that of emasculation and consumerism. Palahnuik highlights in Fight Club the feeling of purposelessness and loss of place in society felt by men. Whether this has arisen due to feminism, death of the industrial man or absent fathers is inconsequential,

I decided to read Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk because I have seen the movie and I loved it. There are two main characters in the story. One of the characters is named Tyler Durdan, he is very crazy and doesn’t care about what everyone else thinks he does whatever he wants. The other main character is another man but you never get the name of him. He is the very opposite of Tyler, he is quiet and lets people walk over him.
