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.
if i had a girlfriend i would let her shoot me
Trans guys will watch a movie and relate to the most maladjusted character ever to exist
Shout out to scenes in horror movies where a sadistic psycho tries to harm a guy but said guy is probably in love with the psycho and accepts said attempted harm as a form of intimacy, ends up weirding the psycho out and disappears from the movie entirely
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.
