Insanity is a high price for freedom. <br /><br />4. But, of course, by freeing themselves from their materialistic lives, they all become slaves in a sort of fascist state. And that's not freedom. <br /><br />5. The only way the narrator can free himself from his own slavery is to put a bullet through his head. <br /><br />6. So anyone who thinks that there's something cool about fight club or the narrator's rent-free domicile or his relationship with Marla is either a sociopath or just hasn't thought hard enough about it. <br /><br />7. Though we must grant that our materialistic society produced the men who are easily seduced by Durden and Fight Club. So a way out is needed. <br /><br />8. If there's a way out of the rut, Fight Club isn't it. Clearly, there are other ways out.Φhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03793923196182331129noreply@blogger.com
