Figh Club part dos (emphasis on Tyler Durden)

Now this is the part of the story where Tyler Durden gets thrown into the mix. The Narrator first meets Tyler on one of his flights while he was on a business trip. He figures Tyler to be just another single serving friend who make soap, but little does the narrator know Tyler will be such an intricate part of his life.

This is one of the major differences I noticed between the book and the movie. In the book the Narrator meets Tyler on a beach in Florida, there Tyler is dragging logs from the surf up onto the beach. He drags five logs and digs five holes into the sand where he plants the logs standing straight up and down. Although the Narrator has no idea why Tyler is doing this later he sees that Tyler created a shadow with his logs and for a minute the shadow appeared to be hand that Tyler happened to be sitting in.

Even though it is kind of subtle change that really doesn't matter in the way the film ends it was still a pretty cool part that would have been fun to see in the movie.


Tyler is really everything the narrator wishes he could be. Tyler is smart, assertive, funny, and good in bed.

That is probably why Tyler is the other half of the Narrator's split personality. Tyler is also one who believes in chaos and really pushes the narrator over the edge. Even though Tyler accomplishes what he wanted to accomplish in destroying the credit district, the Narrator is the ultimate winner in the final confrontation when he ends up shooting himself.
