Palahniuk/Fight Club
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page research paper/essay on Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club, which is a deeply psychological that delineates the dichotomies and conflicting cultural imperatives that characterize masculinity in the contemporary era. Palahniuk’s narrator is a man who has been emasculated, robbed of his sense of self, by these conflicts. This results in self-loathing in which he turns against his politically correct, and therefore, culturally effeminate, side of his personality and release through violence a manifestation of masculinity that he endeavors to achieve. As this suggests, violence in Fight Club can be viewed as a metaphor for radical self-transformation, as violence directed inwardly shakes the narrator’s consciousness free from limiting, culturally-dictated ideas and eventually allows him to obtain an integrated self.
