The Narrator
"You are such a nutcase, I cant even begin to keep up."
-Marla
The Narrator of Fight Club is an unnamed "thirty-year-old boy" who works in the recall division of the Federated Motor Corporation. ...
While a pitiful character, the Narrator is not a nice person. ... The Narrator cannot even control his own imaginary friend. Nevertheless, the Narrator somehow ends up being a sympathetic character, perhaps because the viewers see themselves in him. ... Later in the movie, the Narrator often quotes from the articles he found in the old house: "I am Jacks broken heart," etc. ... )
Matt White writes to say, "Just to let you know I won an auction for a pay slip from Fight Club from the Fox archives. ... For example, when the Narrator travels from one city to the next the guy at the bar tells him hes Mr. Durden and then the Narrator realizes something is wrong and runs to the hotel. ... The Narrator has the whole "he has a name" speech and somebody states that one of the rules in Project Mayhem is that they have no names. ... of course there could be some obvious symbolism I might have missed but the way I see it, he made that rule so no one would approach the Narrator and accidently call him Tyler and thus exposing him. ... " and after a while the narrator simply replies "Tyler". ... Well, we do get told that it was the narrator himself that made all of those trips. ... "
I watched these parts again and Im satisfied that the Narrator isnt really introducing himself as Tyler. ...
The Narrators Possessions
At the beginning of the movie, the Narrator defined himself through his possessions. ...
After the explosion, the Narrator sees his refrigerator lying on the street outside, full of ketchup and mustard. ... Even after he has gone to live with Tyler, the Narrator continues to present what he owned to the outside world as himself. ... " Of course, the Narrator immediately adds to himself, Id like to thank the Academy, but the very fact that he would even jokingly define himself by what he owned shows that he hasnt really changed.
Andy was the first one to figure out who the Narrator really works for:
"In the scene where "Tyler" beats himself up in his boss office, there is a flash of the business cards on the desk.
