Fight Club (analysis of great
“You are not your job. You are not how much you have in the bank. You are not the contents of your wallet. You are not your Khakis. You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake.” In Fight club, we meet our main character that comes to us without a name. He can be referred to as, “Jerry”, but his name is not important. He comes to us without a name because he represents any one man of those Generation X males living in our society at present. Jerry is a thirty-year-old man employed as a recall coordinator for a major automobile company. He lives in condo that is furnished with all the comforts of modern society, namely mass-produced furnishings that can be found in the homes of millions across North America. Jerry owns a car and has obtained a respectable wardrobe for himself over the course of time, but despite all those things, Jerry is not satisfied with his life. This is because Generation X males are dissatisfied, unhappy, confused or lost. Many people find that it is impossible to obtain a job or career where they are not part of the service industry in some way, shape or form. As societies priorities have become more and more materialistic and consumer-driven, people are finding themselves more and more distracted w . . .
Tyler is illustrating here that people in modern society have become so consumed with what they own that their possession begin to own them. People today have become to overwhelm with consumerism forgetting that objects do not bring them ultimate happiness. ith their possessions, rather than with others. In this form of meditation you are led to a cave, which contains their ‘power animal’. Tyler replies that it is a good thing that all that ‘baggage’ is gone. The destruction of all major credit card establishments so that each person can start all over from ground zero. He calls his newfound friend Tyler Durden to console him, and expresses his grief over the loss of his condo. People listened instead of just waiting for their turn to speak. As a result of this men instinctively look for someone to take care of them in a relationship, as they know only what their mother had taught them. The penguin is also symbolic in that penguins are also very’ drone like’ and happy in there atmosphere and travel in flocks. When Jerry realizes he has lost his home and all his possessions he suddenly feels a sense that he is truly alone. Jerry asks his doctor for help and his doctor advises him to attend some of the support groups at a local church. But as Project Mayhem progress Jerry discovers that Tyler is suddenly present less and less. Jerry is part of the human species yet he doesn’t grasp what he can do, and feels restricted by his walls and has essentially made a cave to dwell in.
