Wait. What?

Wow. My mind is blown. This may have been the best plot twist I have read in my relatively short existence. Tyler and the Narrator are one. The Narrator has been hallucinating Tyler the entire time. I have so many questions about everything. My first question, does the Narrator and Tyler have another person in the novel that enjoyed its life and that was the one that existed before the apartment exploded? This could explain why the Narrator suddenly changes almost everything about him from what he was before an insomniac. An interesting concept could be that the entire fight club was just a hallucination. What if everyone he had been fighting was a different personality trying to gain control of the body. This book really just screws with everything you think you know.

The struggle between Tyler and the Narrator really translates to the struggle of society. Two parts of the same thing fighting for control. Every part of humanity can be defined by this struggle. Whether it be parties fighting for control of the government, religions clamoring for people, or people fighting for ideas. We are struggling. The only thing we can ever hope for is a peaceful result. In the end, does it matter who was right, or does it matter who was successful?

This whole book has been meticulously planned out. Throughout the entire novel, there are clues laid out. The biggest one is that Marla, Tyler, and the Narrator are never in the same room together. Expanding on that point, Tyler is rarely seen by other people with the narrator. The most interesting thing for me in this book is that the Narrators multiple personalities can talk to each other. They trade the control of the body, but they are both still there at the same time. Sometimes, the insanity is just too much.
