Entry 3

Plot and Setting

When the narrator arrives at his home from a flight, he goes to his apartment only to realize at has been burned because there was an explosion from inside. The cause of the explosion is a mystery. He calls Tyler who says he can stay with him. They go to a bar and get really drunk and Tyler tells the narrator to hit him as hard as he can so he does. This is the first event that lead to the creation of "Fight Club"

As they fought at a bar, other men saw them. This would then escalate to the group called "Fight Club" which meets every week consists of men fighting. There are rules to Fight Club
1. You don't talk about Fight Club
2. You don't talk about Fight Club
3. Two men per fight
4. One fight at a time
5. No shoes, no shirts in the fight
6. The fights go on as long as they have to

Coincidentally, a month after the narrator moved in with Tyler, Tyler brings a new girl home who the narrator meets in the morning. During his sleep, he had a dream that he was having sex with Marla Singer. The women he met in the morning happened to be no one other than Marla Singer. This horrifies the narrator. Marla and Tyler begin to see each other very often simply to have sex and every time they do, the narrator has the same dream of himself having sex with Marla which disgusts him. The narrator begins feel jealous of the time he can no longer spend with Tyler.

Character

Marla has only proven herself to me more strange in this section of the book. She seems to want to hunt down the narrator wherever he goes and doesn't seem to leave him alone. It's almost as if she is trying to do whatever it takes to be in his life, but that doesn't explain why she would become so involved with Tyler. We see a new side of the narrator as he becomes more frustrated by Marla because she is stealing Tyler away from him and starts to show his jealous side of his personality.

Theme

The novel hasn't really given much more information that could relate to the themes of the book. However i predict that Marla is going to have a great deal of importance in the outcome of this book. I feel as though she seems like an annoyance in the book now but will have a major influence with the later events in the novel which could drastically change the novel.

Additional Notes

As of right now I am really interested with Marla's character. There is something about her that is just so odd and luring to me. When i read about her actions i simply want to kill her because she is so immoral and almost evil, but I almost feel sorry for her low life self.
