B- “You are not special. You're not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else. We're all part of the same compost heap.”- Tyler Durden, Fight Club
H- Even though the time periods are completely different, Dorian Gray and Fight Club correlate more than one would believe. The main characters in Fight Club, the Narrator, Tyler, and Marla, have the same general ideas and representations as the main three, Dorian, Lord Henry, and Basil.

S- The characters in Fight Club show the same manipulation that was taking place in Dorian Gray. The narrator, or Dorian Gray, is manipulated in to becoming the same self-loving, “individual” that Tyler, Lord Henry, has become. While Marla, Basil, sees all of this happening and attempts to steer the Narrator away from it all such as how Basil did with Dorian.
A- In a nutshell, the narrator, a schizophrenic insomniac who is addicted to support groups, which is where he came encounter with Marla, meets Tyler Durden on a plane ride. Tyler is everything the narrator wants to be. Handsome, smart, clever, confident, and more importantly he is an independent to everyone around him.
H- After circumstances cause the narrator to be forced to move in with Tyler, he begins to see how Tyler’s independent, minimalist life has been playing into the molding of his image within the narrator.
B- Marla sees this as well. As the narrator’s personality changes even more from himself into a representation of Tyler, she tries to intervene, not wanting to see someone she loves become so corrupt, not unlike Basils progressively more desperate attempts to get Dorian to remain his own person. The progression of the narrator’s transformation into a mirror image of Tyler more and more mimics the change of Dorian into Lord Henry.
