Marxist Rhetorical Analysis on Fight Club

Fight club is a movie that is about a man who has an alternate life next to his real one. In his alternate life he has set up a club where men come together to fight for no other reason than to deal with their "real life" problems. Why this movie fits in so well with the Marxist analysis is because the main character of Fight Club, Edward Norton, is apart of the working class. Through the fight club that Edward Norton created he is able to "fight out" his frustrations that often happen in the work place. Marxist "considers how capitalism influence media industry and practices that perpetuate class inequality, promotes status quo, and creates a sense of complacency in audiences." In Fight Club when we do see the shots of Edward Norton while he is at work it is clear that he is upset/ depressed and it is clear that there is class inequality between him and the man in charge. Edward's action (creating Fight Club) clearly shows his actions based on the fact that he is and seemingly always will be below someone else.
