Research on Fight Club-Part 2(Consumerism and individuality)

  I can commemorate the quotation from the fight club."The Things you own end up owning you".It exhibits how we become addicted to things.Nowadays products are very magnetic, People easily defines one person by his possessions.Corporate world triggers fantasy inside people's thoughts.And we become day dreamers.We imagine ourselves as superheroes and rock stars, but the matter of the fact is different. This is why Tyler says that "We have no great wars".He claims that we have no great leaders to rule the world instead of making laziness among the people.To give an illustration to my idea, that is "It all depends on whether you have things, or they have you".  We lose our individuality, by owing materialistic life.To give a light to my thought, recall the narrator dad's dialogue"Get a job, next get married ".It shows that we are previously programmed by the same bullshit formula.



    Chuck Palahniuk mentions this quotation in his another novel named Lullaby,"Are these things really better than things I already have? or am I just trained to be dissatisfied with what I have now?"It would seem that we will never get satisfaction, in our current life, It augurs the truth, there is no end to owning things.Because consumers are manipulated by manufacturers who says that "Growth of science". We are terminated to achieve the will power."It's only you lose everything that you're free to do anything".In this line what "everything" means, It is the things owning ourselves.It is the only reason behind our weakness.


  Tyler Durden has expert advertising skill. For instance, attracting and "Make-listening" the people is one of the skills for commercial success.Tyler did it, he magnifies people by his minimalistic and nihilistic thoughts. And he makes those space-monkeys to talk about fight club because human wants to speak about a lot of things which are banned and not-advisable.so Tyler gives the first rule,"Do not talk about fight club".By these points, Tyler has an extraordinary business mind.

   Our protagonist(s) deals with two type of bosses.Firstly Narrator's boss who loved the corn-flower blue color, secondly the native owner of the place where the members were fighting.In the first case, Narrator beats own self wisely as per the monologue"I am Jack's smirking revenge".And achieve what he wants.In the second case, Tyler's actions can be compared to the biblical quotation,"If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also"(From Luke 26:9).And he can be compared to the form of Jesus Christ.
