Tyler Durden Monologue

Decent Essays
Thinking back, shooting myself in the face was an act of desperation. I thought maybe if I killed him, that it would work. It did work, but maybe there could have been other ways. I didn't want to believe it at first. I didn't want to believe that someone like me could develop a mental illness. I guess I never got help because I thought I was stronger than it. I refused to face the facts, I did need help. I always hated my life. I guess when my parents got divorced and when my dad finally left, it took more of a toll than I initially thought. I see now why I made Tyler. He was everything I wished I was, except he was brave enough to live his life. I am not Tyler Durden. I live in a hospital now, and I am happy he is gone. Someday I will

    Robbie was hit three times and died on the front lawn” (119). Robbie’s shooting appeals to pathos as unfortunate and tragic. It is clear that the police did not know how to properly deal with a mentally ill person, and killing someone is definitely not the right decision. Earley also describes another situation in which a Vietnam War veteran named Beatty was shot 14 times for fleeing after waving a pocketknife in front of a manager at a cafeteria. Beatty had often thought he was still fighting the North Vietnamese and wasn’t mentally stable.…

The theory that fits this is the labeling theory.…
