The narrator has a black eye from fighting in Fight Club. He is supposed to be doing a presentation but his boss will not let him present because of his appearance. His boss and a consultant from Microsoft ask what happen to him, but he can’t talk about Fight Club. In this chapter we learn the rules of Fight Club, and we also learn the reason why the men fight in Fight Club. We also learn how the first Fight Club originated. It was discovered by the narrator and Tyler. We then find out that the men lack a father figure in their lives when they were younger boys, so they feel lost and without guidance in the world. “The reasons for man destruction behavior can be traced to his physical vulnerability and his innate subconscious feeling of insignificance” (Marshall 75). When a man grows up without a father it makes them feels unwanted. Men tend to think that it is their faults their father left in the beginning. It is a fact that “delinquents are more likely to come from father-absents home” (Lamb 28). This is why the narrator makes up Tyler. Tyler father never taught him how to succeed in life and he also did not teach Tyler any manners. Tyler knew what was right and what was wrong, but he had a care-free attitude about life. He did what he wanted and did not care if anybody got hurt in the process. Studies that are shown by “Roger and Long’s (1968) data also suggest that boys whose fathers are away for long periods of time have difficulties in their masculine development” (Lamb 494). Men tend to take on femine traits that they learn from their mother. The narrator shows evidence in the book when he talks about cleaning his condominium. To solve this problem they fight other men. Both Tyler and the narrator feel like self-destruction and not self-improvement is the only way to remove the pain that they are feeling and hopefully they will become better men. “Contemporary man has fulfilled his evolutionary purpose, but his obsession with destruction has become counterproductive to survival of human life on this planet” (Marshall 31). | The narrator has a black eye from fighting in Fight Club.
