Fight Club Ending/Theme

At the end of Fight Club I decided to revise my theme for the story, I believe Fight Club is about a man seeing no purpose and no reason for everything in his own existence. So his mind creates a purpose for him to live. It forces him to become a leader, a lover, and a happier person. Tyler saved him from his own destruction in the end, he taught him to find his true manhood and well as his soul. At the end of the book he learns Tyler will soon blow up half the city. The only way to stop Tyler.. himself, is to put a bullet in his mouth. As Marla watches he shoots a bullet in his mouth. The bullet fly's out the side of his mouth, but kills Tyler. The act of attempting to kill himself in order to kill Tyler was enough to subconsciously kill Tyler, and he survived in the process. Fight Club in the simplest way, is about founding a purpose for yourself, in a world where there isn't one.
