“I had to know what Tyler was doing while I slept. If I could wake up in a different place, at a different time, could I wake up as a different person? (Palahniuk 32). When Tyler is in action, the narrator is not contemporary in the sense that he is Tyler now. Tyler is someone who doesn't care about the money-driven world, but he does believe in building a classless society. The narrator is insomniac, depressed and stuck in an uninteresting job. Chuck's important, pessimistic and radical work, Fight Club, investigates his inner self deeper and deeper into personality, identity and temperament as each chapter progresses. Through his writings, Chuck Palahniuk comments on the inner conflicts, the psychoanalysis of the narrator and Tyler Durden, and the Marxist impression of classicism. By not giving the narrator a name, the author wants readers to engage with the novel and relate to the narrator's storyline. The main subject of the novel Fight Club is to socially comment on the conquest of manhood in the simultaneous world. This novel is, collectively, a male representation where only one woman, Marla Singer, is depicted. “Tyler said, “I want you to hit me as hard as you can” (46). This phrase is a simple representation of how to start a manly fight club. However, in the novel, this scene is written as if two people were physically fighting and spilling blood all over the parking lot. In reality, it is simply an initiation into a fight club that resides in the narrator's inner self. The concept of this club is that the more you fight, the stronger and more enduring you become. It is also a place where we confront our weaknesses and our inner deterioration. Self-estrangement has similarities to...... middle of paper ......y in terms of id, ego, superego, abandonment. , the origins of unconsciousness, etc. where Tyler represents the id, society is the superego and finally the narrator is the ego. This novel is an excellent representation of the theory of psychoanalysis and is heavily based on the conflicts of the inner self. From the first day of fight club until the end of this novel, several alterations of the mental forces---the id, the ego, and the superego---have taken place. Along with the psychoanalysis of Sigmund Freud, the Marxism of Karl Marx also balances socio-economic effects, in society, with human psychology. Work Cited Palahniuk, Chuck. Fight club. New York.
