In this chapter the narrator feels like the only way to rid himself of Tyler is to shoot him. “I had to pull the trigger” (Palahniuk 197). | == Summary == | ||
In this chapter the narrator is standing on top of the Parker-Morris building trying to figure out a way to get rid of Tyler. The narrator feels like the only way to rid himself of Tyler is to shoot him. “I had to pull the trigger” (Palahniuk 197). Marla and the members from the support groups are trying to tell the narrator not to pull the trigger, but he does not listen and he shoots himself. He does not die from the gun shot, but he thinks he is in heaven. “Everything in heaven is white on white” (Palahniuk 196). In reality we find out the narrator is in the hospital, for shooting himself. “The angels here are the Old Testaments kind, legions and lieutenants, a heavenly host who works in shift, day, swing” (Palahniuk 198). Marla and members from Fight Club writes to him in the hospital to let him know that he will be release soon and the Fight Club and Project Mayhem will still be going on. The narrator does not want to leave the hospital yet because the aids in the hospital will occasionally drop little hints to him that nothing has changed. “We look forward to getting you back” (Palahniuk 199). | |||

The narrator has come to realize that Tyler and he are the same people. Tyler occurs because he wants to be all the things Tyler is, but he can’t because he is not that type of person. The narrator finds a way to get rid of Tyler, but he finds out that getting rid of Tyler did not get rid of Fight Club or Project Mayhem.
