2. Question One: David Fincher, director of the Fight Club movie, said that he sees Fight Club as a coming of age story. In what ways can Fight Club be seen as a story of growth and the development of life philosophies?
3. Question Two: Antonio Casado de Rocha writes in his article that a primary existential principal is that “moral values are ‘ created’ rather than ‘discovered.” To what extent are Jack and Tyler’s moral values created rather than discovered? And how do their “moral values” contrast the societal norms and rules depicted in Fight Club ?
4. Question Three: Sartre, an existential philosopher, attests that to choose between this or that, one course of action over another, is to affirm the value of that which is chosen. How do the characters’ choices in the novel affirm their moral values?
5. Question Four: The characters of Fight Club are constantly dealing with the inevitability of their own deaths, Tyler accepting it, Marla wanting it, and the narrator struggling to confront it. How does each character’s approach to death reflect their constructed moral values? And do any of their approaches change as the novel progresses?
6. Question Five: To what extent do you agree or disagree with the life philosophies and moral values exhibited in Fight Club ?
