Jack starts out as a consumer defining his life by possessions, while Tyler lives his life on his own terms” (Briggs). Matthew Briggs of Colorado State University describes the characters by saying, "'Fight Club' challenges the typical American consumer identity by creating two contradicting characters. Tyler Durden and the narrator both have very opposing personalities. The two men begin fighting outside, and that is how their fight club is born. When the narrator returns home, he finds that his condo has been blown up, so he calls his new friend Tyler who invites the narrator to stay in his home, which is abandoned-looking and falling apart.
On an airplane coming back from a business trip, he meets Tyler Durden, who is a soap manufacturer and salesman. He meets another “faker” by the name of Marla Singer (Helena Bonham Carter) in one of his support groups, who basically ruins his life and becomes his enemy. He suffers from insomnia and discovers that the only remedy that can cure him is attending support groups and pretending to have illnesses he does not actually have.

The nameless narrator/main character of the movie (played by Edward Norton), works for an automobile company and lives a very routine life, dictated by the products that he owns. What makes Tyler Durden such an interesting and unique character is that he technically does not exist. In a list of the 100 Greatest Movie Characters put together by "Empire Online," "Fight Club's" Tyler Durden (played by Brad Pitt) comes in at number eight, beating out iconic movie characters like Harry Potter, E.T., Luke Skywalker and Rocky Balboa.
