operation mayhem vs the machine

The narrator, Tyler and all the members
of fight club are responding to society's hegemonic masculinity by forming
their group and under Tyler's leadership having something to aspire to. In the
scene outside the bar that showed the birth of fight club, we see a homo-social interaction between Tyler and the narrator. They both randomly get into a fight
and at the end of this fight we could tell they both reached some sort of
satisfaction because we see Tyler and the narrator making plans to recreate
this activity at a later time. Tyler and the narrator also became a lot closer
as a result of the satisfaction they gave each other after their first fight.. a
good example is the scene where they both were getting ready for work, we see
the narrator in a robe while Tyler had a suit on and in this scene the narrator
helps Tyler adjust his tie and when this happens I immediately think of a
suburban neighborhood, three bedroom home with a white picket fence, man and
wife in their bedroom, man is getting ready to go bring home some bacon and wife
is making sure he looks good before he leaves the home. The only difference was
that they were both employed and instead of a man and woman it was two men. Overall
fight club and its members were trying to go against the machine that is
hegemonic masculinity but in so doing they became a stronger ruthless rebirth
of this machine.
