at the end of the book the main character says there are angles taking care of him, the whole time i was reading the book for the first time many argued with me about what Tyler Durden stood for. as many people saw him as "the bad guy" of the book i on the other hand saw him as the second coming, as the great flood, the one thing that could save the world from destroying its self. although the book is fiction i often try to see the world as Tyler saw it. i often wonder what would Tyler do after the known society was brought down to just rubble. any thoughts?

I have this weird feeling that the narrator would develop yet another personality that pines for the empty comforts of before. He never really struck me as someone who would finally end up satisfied about anything.

When society is rubble he will be standing on top of it. He's already a leader. He would step into a leader's role and control the perfect chaos that would ensue.

Ha ha, In no way is he the 'bad guy', He's saying 'wake up'

I think he's the personification of the little niggling thing inside everybody that says 'fuck this shit' In a world that's predominantly 'bullshit till you die'...he is...the liberator, though being so focussed on the order of chaos you begin to wonder whether society can survive in such a way, or perhaps the question is 'does it deserve to survive at all?'

That's interesting. Sort of like a Call of the Wild/White Fang kind of deal. I feel a fanfic coming on...
