Before the narrator meets Tyler Durden, we see flickers of Tyler in random scenes at the start of the film. Tyler is able to take control and dominates over the narrator which reinforces his masculinity from the start.…

    Different events are not making sense like the once did before and it leaves the audience questioning what is truly occurring. However, once we discover that Tyler is a figment of the narrator’s imagination, everything becomes clear. Without the point of view of the narrator, the audience would not have seen the psychological problems the narrator faced as he did, but rather have quickly thought that he was crazy. If this was done it would not have had the same impact it has on the audience. Also, a revolving theme in the film is isolation. This could have ultimately led to his need to create Tyler because he felt as if he was not living his life to the fullest potential and he did not feel happy with himself. Towards the end of the film he found someone who made him lose sense of that, Marla, and no longer needed Tyler, which led Narrator to end…
