&lt;br /&gt;
The Oedipus Complex –&lt;br /&gt;
Based from a greek legend [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oedipus Read about it] king of Thebes, the son of Laius and Jocasta, and the father by Jocasta of Eteocles, Polynices, Antigone, and Ismeme: as was prophesied at his birth, he unwittingly killed his father and married his mother and, in penance, blinded himself and went into exile.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The unresolved desire of a child for sexual gratification through the parent of the opposite sex, esp. the desire of a son for his mother. This involves, first, identification with and, later, hatred for the parent of the same sex, who is considered by the child as a rival.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1.A child&#039;s positive libidinal feelings toward the parent of the opposite sex and hostile or jealous feelings toward the parent of the same sex that develop usually between the ages of three and six and that may be a source of adult personality disorder when unresolved used especially of the male child.&lt;br /&gt;
2. The unresolved oedipal feelings persisting into adult life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The child’s sexual researches, on which limits are imposed by his physical development, lead to no satisfactory conclusion; hence such later complaints as ‘I can’t accomplish anything’.”(Freud 15) “The tie of affection, which binds the child as a rule to the parent of the opposite sex, succumbs to disappointment, to a vain expectation of satisfaction or to jealousy over the birth of a new baby-unmistakable proof or the infidelity of the object of the child’s affections.”(Freud 15) “His own attempt to make a bay himself, carried out with tragic seriousness, fails shamefully.”(Freud 15) “The lessening amount of affection he receives, the increasing demands of education, hard words and an occasional punishment-these show him at last the full extent to which he has been scorned.”(Freud 15) “These are a few typical and constantly recurring instances of the ways in which the love characteristic of the age of childhood is brought  to a conclusion.”(Freud 15)&lt;br /&gt;

The Oedipus Complex –&lt;br /&gt;
Based from a greek legend [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oedipus Read about it] king of Thebes, the son of Laius and Jocasta, and the father by Jocasta of Eteocles, Polynices, Antigone, and Ismeme: as was prophesied at his birth, he unwittingly killed his father and married his mother and, in penance, blinded himself and went into exile.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The unresolved desire of a child for sexual gratification through the parent of the opposite sex, esp. the desire of a son for his mother. This involves, first, identification with and, later, hatred for the parent of the same sex, who is considered by the child as a rival.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1.A child&#039;s positive libidinal feelings toward the parent of the opposite sex and hostile or jealous feelings toward the parent of the same sex that develop usually between the ages of three and six and that may be a source of adult personality disorder when unresolved used especially of the male child.&lt;br /&gt;
2. The unresolved oedipal feelings persisting into adult life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The child’s sexual researches, on which limits are imposed by his physical development, lead to no satisfactory conclusion; hence such later complaints as ‘I can’t accomplish anything’.” “The tie of affection, which binds the child as a rule to the parent of the opposite sex, succumbs to disappointment, to a vain expectation of satisfaction or to jealousy over the birth of a new baby-unmistakable proof or the infidelity of the object of the child’s affections.” “His own attempt to make a bay himself, carried out with tragic seriousness, fails shamefully.” “The lessening amount of affection he receives, the increasing demands of education, hard words and an occasional punishment-these show him at last the full extent to which he has been scorned.” “These are a few typical and constantly recurring instances of the ways in which the love characteristic of the age of childhood is brought  to a conclusion.”(Freud 15) &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Characters ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== The Narrator ===&lt;br /&gt;
The protagonist of the story who suffers from insomnia and has a split personality. Because of his insomnia, he starts attending support groups to see what real suffering is like. After a while of attending them, he meets Tyler Durden and forms Fight Club. This begins to be his new support group. We never find out his name in the story. We only know his other personality, Tyler.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Tyler Durden ===&lt;br /&gt;
He is the narrators devious side of his personality. He is the one who technically made the way for the Fight Club when he said to the narrator &amp;quot;hit me as hard as you can.&amp;quot; The narrator wanted to be more like Tyler even though the are the same person.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Marla Singer ===&lt;br /&gt;
The narrator meets her at the support groups he was attending. He beings to hate her for being a tourist. He could not let himself go when there was another faker there. She ends up being Tyler (and the narrator&#039;s) lover.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Big Bob ===&lt;br /&gt;
He is a man the narrator meets at the testicular cancer support groups. He develops brests from having to take more estrogen. The narrator makes friends with him and Bob joins a fight club. He ends up getting shot while doing something for Project Mayhem, and dies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Major Themes ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== The Feminization of Men ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Redefining or Rediscovering Masculinity ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The Numbing Effects of Modern Life ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The Oedipus Complex ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Oedipus Complex –&lt;br /&gt;
Based from a greek legend (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oedipus)king of Thebes, the son of Laius and Jocasta, and the father by Jocasta of Eteocles, Polynices, Antigone, and Ismeme: as was prophesied at his birth, he unwittingly killed his father and married his mother and, in penance, blinded himself and went into exile.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The unresolved desire of a child for sexual gratification through the parent of the opposite sex, esp. the desire of a son for his mother. This involves, first, identification with and, later, hatred for the parent of the same sex, who is considered by the child as a rival.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1.A child&#039;s positive libidinal feelings toward the parent of the opposite sex and hostile or jealous feelings toward the parent of the same sex that develop usually between the ages of three and six and that may be a source of adult personality disorder when unresolved used especially of the male child.&lt;br /&gt;
2. The unresolved oedipal feelings persisting into adult life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The child’s sexual researches, on which limits are imposed by his physical development, lead to no satisfactory conclusion; hence such later complaints as ‘I can’t accomplish anything’.” “The tie of affection, which binds the child as a rule to the parent of the opposite sex, succumbs to disappointment, to a vain expectation of satisfaction or to jealousy over the birth of a new baby-unmistakable proof or the infidelity of the object of the child’s affections.” “His own attempt to make a bay himself, carried out with tragic seriousness, fails shamefully.” “The lessening amount of affection he receives, the increasing demands of education, hard words and an occasional punishment-these show him at last the full extent to which he has been scorned.” “These are a few typical and constantly recurring instances of the ways in which the love characteristic of the age of childhood is brought  to a conclusion.”(Freud 15) &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Semantics&#039;&#039;&#039;: The study of meaning, signification. Semantics explains certain parts of meaning that are represented in a language or code. Semantics is broken into two parts, Syntax and Pragmatics. Syntax is the construction of complex signs from simpler signs. Pragmatics is the practical use of signs by agents or communities of interpretation in particular circumstances and contexts. This means that people who have the power, education, or skill decide a correct interpretation, or meaning for every circumstance and context that we (as a people) experience through time. Before we have linguistics, or communication, we have semantics, or interpretation, which is generally founded before us by scholars who are appointed to do so. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Semantics is the study of the way language signals meanings and their changes. A much broader use and application of semiotics, semantics includes the way words relate to what they signify  (Frye et al. 425). The study of linguistic development by classifying and examining changes in meaning and form. The meaning, or an interpretation of the meaning, of a word, sign, sentence, etc.: &#039;&#039;Let&#039;s not argue about semantics.&#039;&#039; The study of the relationships between various signs and symbols and what they represent.&lt;br /&gt;
Semantics can also be reffered to as &amp;quot;double speak&amp;quot; (Pei). It reffers to the use of linguistic meanings.&lt;br /&gt;
Semantics has a strong basing on syntax being that semantics is the way language signals relate to general meanings, or symbolic logic  (Frye et al. 425).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; Among the important issues in the area of semantics and it&#039;s relation to the rest of the grammer, the idea that transformations might be meaning-preserving is one that has an interesting history and one whose fate is far from clear(Holt,Rhinehart,and Winston.1).&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Linguistics&#039;&#039;&#039;- In linguistics, &#039;&#039;semantics&#039;&#039; is the subfield that is devoted to the study of meaning, as borne on the syntactic levels of words, phrases, sentences, and sometimes larger units of discourse, generically referred to as texts. As with any empirical science, &#039;&#039;semantics&#039;&#039; involves the interplay of concrete data with theoretical concepts, and specializations have developed that focus on different parts of that interaction, for example, the semantics of natural languages and formal languages, respectively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on the perspective taken up, &#039;&#039;semantics&#039;&#039; may include the study of connotative sense and denotative reference, truth conditions, argument structure, thematic roles, discourse analysis, and the linkage of all of these to syntax.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The decompositional perspective towards meaning holds that the meaning of words can be analyzed by defining meaning atoms or primitives, which establish a language of thought. An area of study is the meaning of compounds, another is the study of relations between different linguistic expressions (homonymy, synonymy, antonymy, polysemy, paronyms, hypernymy, hyponymy, meronymy, metonymy, holonymy, exocentric, and endocentric).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Semantics&#039;&#039;&#039;: The study of meaning, signification. Semantics explains certain parts of meaning that are represented in a language or code. Semantics is broken into two parts, Syntax and Pragmatics. Syntax is the construction of complex signs from simpler signs. Pragmatics is the practical use of signs by agents or communities of interpretation in particular circumstances and contexts. This means that people who have the power, education, or skill decide a correct interpretation, or meaning for every circumstance and context that we (as a people) experience through time. Before we have linguistics, or communication, we have semantics, or interpretation, which is generally founded before us by scholars who are appointed to do so. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Semantics is the study of the way language signals meanings and their changes. A much broader use and application of semiotics, semantics includes the way words relate to what they signify  (Frye et al. 425). The study of linguistic development by classifying and examining changes in meaning and form. The meaning, or an interpretation of the meaning, of a word, sign, sentence, etc.: &#039;&#039;Let&#039;s not argue about semantics.&#039;&#039; The study of the relationships between various signs and symbols and what they represent.&lt;br /&gt;
Semantics can also be reffered to as &amp;quot;double speak&amp;quot; (Pei). It reffers to the use of linguistic meanings.&lt;br /&gt;
Semantics has a strong basing on syntax being that semantics is the way language signals relate to general meanings, or symbolic logic  (Frye et al. 425).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; Among the important issues in the area of semantics and it&#039;s relation to the rest of the grammer, the idea that transformations might be meaning-preserving is one that has an interesting history and one whose fate is far from clear(Holt,Rhinehart,and Winston.1).&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Linguistics&#039;&#039;&#039;- In linguistics, &#039;&#039;semantics&#039;&#039; is the subfield that is devoted to the study of meaning, as borne on the syntactic levels of words, phrases, sentences, and sometimes larger units of discourse, generically referred to as texts. As with any empirical science, &#039;&#039;semantics&#039;&#039; involves the interplay of concrete data with theoretical concepts, and specializations have developed that focus on different parts of that interaction, for example, the semantics of natural languages and formal languages, respectively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on the perspective taken up, &#039;&#039;semantics&#039;&#039; may include the study of connotative sense and denotative reference, truth conditions, argument structure, thematic roles, discourse analysis, and the linkage of all of these to syntax.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The decompositional perspective towards meaning holds that the meaning of words can be analyzed by defining meaning atoms or primitives, which establish a language of thought. An area of study is the meaning of compounds, another is the study of relations between different linguistic expressions (homonymy, synonymy, antonymy, polysemy, paronyms, hypernymy, hyponymy, meronymy, metonymy, holonymy, exocentric, and endocentric).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Semantics&#039;&#039;&#039;: The study of meaning, signification. Semantics explains certain parts of meaning that are represented in a language or code ([http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/code]). Semantics is broken into two parts, Syntax and Pragmatics. Syntax is the construction of complex signs from simpler signs. Pragmatics is the practical use of signs by agents or communities of interpretation in particular circumstances and contexts. This means that people who have the power, education, or skill decide a correct interpretation, or meaning for every circumstance and context that we (as a people) experience through time. Before we have linguistics, or communication, we have semantics, or interpretation, which is generally founded before us by scholars who are appointed to do so. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Semantics is the study of the way language signals meanings and their changes. A much broader use and application of semiotics, semantics includes the way words relate to what they signify  (Frye et al. 425). The study of linguistic development by classifying and examining changes in meaning and form. The meaning, or an interpretation of the meaning, of a word, sign, sentence, etc.: &#039;&#039;Let&#039;s not argue about semantics.&#039;&#039; The study of the relationships between various signs and symbols and what they represent.&lt;br /&gt;
Semantics can also be reffered to as &amp;quot;double speak&amp;quot; (Pei). It reffers to the use of linguistic meanings.&lt;br /&gt;
Semantics has a strong basing on syntax being that semantics is the way language signals relate to general meanings, or symbolic logic  (Frye et al. 425).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; Among the important issues in the area of semantics and it&#039;s relation to the rest of the grammer, the idea that transformations might be meaning-preserving is one that has an interesting history and one whose fate is far from clear(Holt,Rhinehart,and Winston.1).&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Semantics&#039;&#039;&#039;: The study of meaning, signification. Semantics explains certain parts of meaning that are represented in a language or code ([http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/code]). Semantics is broken into two parts, Syntax and Pragmatics. Syntax is the construction of complex signs from simpler signs. Pragmatics is the practical use of signs by agents or communities of interpretation in particular circumstances and contexts. This means that people who have the power, education, or skill decide a correct interpretation, or meaning for every circumstance and context that we (as a people) experience through time. Before we have linguistics, or communication, we have semantics, or interpretation, which is generally founded before us by scholars who are appointed to do so. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Semantics is the study of the way language signals meanings and their changes. A much broader use and application of [[semiotics]], semantics includes the way words relate to what they signify  (Frye et al. 425). The study of linguistic development by classifying and examining changes in meaning and form. The meaning, or an interpretation of the meaning, of a word, sign, sentence, etc.: &#039;&#039;Let&#039;s not argue about semantics.&#039;&#039; The study of the relationships between various signs and symbols and what they represent.&lt;br /&gt;
Semantics can also be reffered to as &amp;quot;double speak&amp;quot; (Pei). It reffers to the use of linguistic meanings.&lt;br /&gt;
Semantics has a strong basing on [[syntax]] being that semantics is the way language signals relate to general meanings, or symbolic logic  (Frye et al. 425).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; Among the important issues in the area of semantics and it&#039;s relation to the rest of the grammer, the idea that transformations might be meaning-preserving is one that has an interesting history and one whose fate is far from clear(Holt,Rhinehart,and Winston.1).&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

This means that people who have the power, education, or skill decide a correct interpretation, or meaning for every circumstance and context that we (as a people) experience through time. Before we have linguistics, or communication, we have semantics, or interpretation, which is generally founded before us by scholars who are appointed to do so. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Semantics is the study of the way language signals meanings and their changes. A much broader use and application of [[semiotics]], semantics includes the way words relate to what they signify  (Frye et al. 425). The study of linguistic development by classifying and examining changes in meaning and form. The meaning, or an interpretation of the meaning, of a word, sign, sentence, etc.: &#039;&#039;Let&#039;s not argue about semantics.&#039;&#039; The study of the relationships between various signs and symbols and what they represent.&lt;br /&gt;
Semantics can also be reffered to as &amp;quot;double speak&amp;quot; (Pei). It reffers to the use of linguistic meanings.&lt;br /&gt;
Semantics has a strong basing on [[syntax]] being that semantics is the way language signals relate to general meanings, or symbolic logic  (Frye et al. 425).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; Among the important issues in the area of semantics and it&#039;s relation to the rest of the grammer, the idead that transformations might be meaning-preserving is one that has an interesting history and ones whose fate is far from clear&amp;quot; (Holt,Rhinehart,and Winston.1)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Semantics&#039;&#039;&#039;:The study of meaning, signification. Semantics explains certain parts of meaning that are represented in a language or code ([http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/code]). Semantics is broken into two parts, Syntax and Pragmatics. Syntax is the construction of complex signs from simpler signs. Pragmatics is the practical use of signs by agents or communities of interpretation in particular circumstances and contexts. This means that people who have the power, education, or skill decide a correct interpretation, or meaning for every circumstance and context that we (as a people) experience through time. Before we have linguistics, or communication, we have semantics, or interpretation, which is generally founded before us by scholars who are appointed to do so. The study of the way language signals meanings and their changes. A much broader use and application of [[semiotics]], semantics includes the way words relate to what they signify  (Frye et al. 425). The study of linguistic development by classifying and examining changes in meaning and form. The meaning, or an interpretation of the meaning, of a word, sign, sentence, etc.: &#039;&#039;Let&#039;s not argue about semantics.&#039;&#039; The study of the relationships between various signs and symbols and what they represent.&lt;br /&gt;
Semantics can also be reffered to as &amp;quot;double speak&amp;quot; (Pei). It reffers to the use of linguistic meanings.&lt;br /&gt;
Semantics has a strong basing on [[syntax]] being that semantics is the way language signals relate to general meanings, or symbolic logic  (Frye et al. 425).&lt;br /&gt;

==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
Joe is a Mormon chief clerk for Justice Theodore Wilson of the Federal Court of Appeals, Second Circuit. He is married to Harper Pitt. They have a strained marriage, as Joe is a closet homosexual. His Mormon beliefs, and what he percieves to be &amp;quot;right&amp;quot; has stood in his way of finding his true happiness.For most of his life, he has not admitted his homosexuality to his family, friends, wife, or even himself. He has been chosen by the great Roy Cohn to be his right hand man in Washington, and Joe is faced with a tremendous crisis of conscience: He must decide whether he can transplant his paranoid, delusional wife, who he is growing less and less fond of to Washington, or leave her to pursue a career under Roy as one of the “Chief Elect” and proceed a homosexual lifestyle eventually devoid of his religion.&lt;br /&gt;

“Prior Walter -  The boyfriend Louis abandons after Prior reveals that he has AIDS. Prior becomes a prophet when he is visited by an Angel of God, but he eventually rejects his prophecy and demands a blessing of additional life. The Angel is drawn to Prior because of his illness, which inscribes a kind of ending in his bloodstream, and because of his ancient Anglo-Saxon lineage, representing the notion of being rooted and stable. But he proves wiser than the Angels in rejecting their doctrine of stasis in favor of the painful necessity of movement and migration. Prior is as genuinely decent and moral as Louis is flawed. His AIDS infection renders him weak and victimized, but he manages to transcend that mere victimhood, surviving and becoming the center of a new, utopian community at the play&#039;s end.”(Spark Notes)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;“Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were executed for espionage in Sing Sing Prison on 19 June 1953. They had been convicted of giving American atomic secrets to the Soviets during World War II. Though the government was convinced of their guilt, many people were not and the debate over their guilt or innocence did not stop with their deaths. Subsequent declassified government documents have however indicated that Julius Rosenberg did indeed spy for the Soviets but that the government&#039;s case against Ethel Rosenberg was quite weak.(CCNY Libraries reference and research)&lt;br /&gt;
