Identity Crisis in Fight Club
[ send me this paper ]
The movie Fight Club is a study in the psychological underpinnings behind the amount of violence or pain, internal or external, a person will endure when trying to find a sense of identity within himself. Fight Club takes a group of people looking for their identities. They may be searching for identities to get over personal crises in their lives, but they will fail to find what they are looking for, in a true sense. Through its characters, the film epitomizes the psychological issues surrounding identity crises as they relate to issues such as trust vs. mistrust, autonomy vs. shame, intimacy vs. isolation, and integrity vs. despair.
