As the story continues, the confusion of "Fight Club" reflects through the psyche of it's protagonist. His sense of humor is dark and disturbing, and he doesn't see it that way. His mind drifts and relates random memories to newer memories in odd eccentric ways. He is beginning to act more like Tyler, despising the world and its inhabitants. He recognizes his change in behavior also, but he embraces it. He talks about the destruction of his apartment as the destruction of himself. And it wasn't a rebirth, just his own destruction. He is nothing but a meaningless pawn in a pointless game of life. In the end of my reading he asks a hotel receptionist to stop hitting him, even though the receptionist hadn't touched him. He then proceeds to throw himself into the nearest wall and punch himself and the receptionist until they each bled. He giggles and repeats "stop punching me!" It's obvious he is losing his mind in a way I don't understand yet.
That's cool that in the book you follow the mental state of the guy in a way...I guess, If that's right.
ReplyDeleteI like how thoroughly you analyzed your book. I would not want to read it though because it seems weird and kind of sad.
