Who is Tyler Durden?
Tyler Durden represents a post-modern double that departs from historical precedents. He is introduced through cinema rather than literature and is not associated with traditional doubles from Gothic fiction that symbolized supernatural concepts. Tyler possesses his own agency and can act independently from the narrator whether he is awake or asleep. Fight Club reimagines the double through influences from Freud, Lacan, and film to establish a new paradigm of the double that is freed from older symbolic meanings and stigmas.
Film noir codes & conventions
Film noir cinematography is known for using distorted, uncomfortable angles and framing to put viewers on edge. It often features extreme close-ups, deep focus shots, and obscured views through objects.

Character archetypes regularly seen are down-on-their-luck private detectives and dangerously seductive femme fatales. The narratives typically involve crimes, double-crosses, and a downward spiral of events leading to misfortune.
Conventions of Film Noir
Film noir is typically set in dark, gloomy locations like alleys and empty streets. Characters wear trench coats and hats, and themes involve greed, betrayal, and corruption. Visual styles that create mood include low-key lighting, shadows, and angled shots. Over time, the noir genre has expanded to include neo-noir films in various settings and subgenres like science fiction noir or horror noir.
