Hi, need to submit a 1250 words paper on the topic Masculinity and Violence in Fight Club and Drowning Tucson. However, when “a generation of men” is raised by women, there is no “male example” (Palahniuk 50) to follow and males only have that urge for liberalization and the need to ascertain their masculinity. One can see that the Tyler in Fight Club is the real macho man who tries to struggle away from the feminized Narrator, or, in other words, Tyler is the real male self of the Narrator. In fact, what Palahniuk points out and what the reader feels is that real masculinity involves surplus aggressiveness and sexual and emotional desires. In the real society, most males are forced to employ surplus repression to look civilized. Thus, there are institutions of male bonding which offer them a way to unleash this hidden aggression in the safest possible way. They engage in fist fight in such institutions and enjoy a sense of power. In the novel, the Narrator is a person who has lost his sense of manhood. He does not have a name, lives alone, and is unable to make healthy relations with others. This extreme pain and alienation makes the real man in him struggle away and become Tyler who wants to become the leader of the “space monkeys” (Palahniuk 132).
