The level of dysphoria where you have to tell yourself you aren't acting feminine you're just a multifaceted person with different parts and those parts are important to be well rounded
I need balding narrator. Balding Tyler. Balding everybody. They all need to be 'thinning' and narrator needs to be in deep denial and spiraling about it
Imagine if you locked Light and Patrick Bateman in a room together. They would be having the most generic conversation but you wouldn’t be able to hear it over the sound of their overlapping internal monologues. There would be a few seconds where their monologues both play in sync to say something misogynistic.
I want to see more art of him in The Jacket.
You know despite my love for the name jack used by narrator in the movie, thematically speaking the book usage of joe for those tidbits about his body work better. Joe is the most generic male name you could have. It shows how replaceable he is. How he is just a body for your average worker. Your average Joe. If he died all he'd be is john doe. He is just a man going through the motions without an identity. Even with the most basic name in the world, he is still only the body and parts of joe. He is not a person.
I think people forget about Chloe too much when they talk about fight club. She is the only real character outside of Project mayhem that Narrator can half stand. She's the only real character that represents the outside world in any real way. Marla is too detached from real life to provide any kind of normalcy or to contrast the Narrator and Tyler, since she is heading towards bottom, as Tyler himself even says.
I think Chloe is more important to the story than she's given credit for. She represents some real life, in the same kind of way Bob does. She is a normal person, she probably went to work and had friends and maybe began to think about a family. Then she gets cancer, and suffers enormously, and then she dies.
I think part of it (like with Bob) is that the Narrator recognizes that they didn't deserve their deaths. They did nothing wrong, they hurt nobody. They did everything they were supposed to, yet they still suffered and died feeling completely isolated from the people around them and the people who used to be in their life had left them.
But he did nothing right. He runs an underground fight club, he commits crimes, he steals, he threatens, he beats and destroys, he cooks down parts of people into soap and sells it without batting an eye. He let's other young men get dragged into it all, he is the real source of the issues, not Tyler. He refuses to even consider that he was to blame for things.
And yet, he's fine. He survives, he enjoys his time, he connects to somebody, he is surrounded by people practically falling over themselves to help him and do whatever he says. Chloe and Bob died, alone, and he lives, void of any consequence.
I need to draw Narrator as the unhinged psychopath he is. He thinks he is this loser and that Tyler is the part of him he wants to be. On the outside he’s the guy who is putting his cigarettes out on his arm and making homemade pipe bombs in his underwear. You are not some lovable pathetic loser you are a domestic terrorist who openly talks to himself.
a pet peeve of mine is when people characterize the narrator as an innocent victim of tyler's plans.. like dude he was fully participating in project mayhem for a bit there. his biggest gripe was with the fact he wasn't "special" to tyler anymore and wasn't let in on the plans first. he's only snapped out of it when tyler is fully gone and bob ends up dead + marla's safety is put at risk. what you have to understand about him is he only let tyler seduce him into his ideology because he has a shaky moral compass to begin with. he literally starts the story by exploiting other people's terminal illness as a sleeping aid lmao he was already not a great guy tyler just made it Worse i think
