	The narrator’s alter ego, Tyler, is how masculinity is defined in the late-twentieth- century American culture. He represents the anti-hero. He is charismatic and mischievous. The wounding and the masochism are the characteristics of masculine identity in today’s society. Men feel the need to prove themselves to be “real men”. That feeling is relevant to how society has emasculated men. Palahniuk’s real life experiences were reflected in his novels. He would have a bruised and bloody face given to him by his co-workers and no one really responded. He once was quoted, “you could really do anything you wanted in your personal life, as long as you looked so bad that people would not want to know the details. I started thinking of a fight club as a really structured, controlled way of just going nuts in a really safe situation.” He believed in expressing one’s violence impulses in less dangerous ways.
