Fight Club provides a space in which men can transcend the reality of their lifestyle, their jobs, and their bodies. This initial fight leads them to fighting each night in the parking lot, then drawing a crowd of male participants, and eventually to the bar's basement for the beginning of Fight Club, new religion and secret society for males who want to reclaim their instincts as hunters within a society that has turned them into consumers. The narrator then moves in with Tyler, a character who " represents the redemption of masculinity repackaged as the promise of violence in the interests of social and political anarchy" (Giroux 2000, Private Satisfactions and Public Disorders: Fight Club, Patriarchy, and the Politics of Masculine Violence). Pain leads to exhilaration and they sit exhausted, bloodied and blissful after their brute encounter – empowered (Giroux 2000).
After meeting in a bar, Tyler Durden and the narrator fight in the parking lot which marks their first destructive acts upon the body.
