fight club and violence


In my opinion, i think that the book fight club indeed glorifies violence. When i read the title i immediatley assumed that the book will have an intense atmosphere. As i have read along the chapters i came across a couple of ways that the author Palahniuk asserts.. one way that fight club elevates violence is during the fights, all the fighters in the club obtained an immense beating and what motivates the beating to continue is the Rules OF Fight Club. The rules say that the fights go as long as they need to and no shirts and no shoes. If there is no time limit to a fight then someone is gonna get seriously injured or killed, to prohibit shirts and shoes in a fight is like a sword fight with no armor. With the examples given i think that there is no objection with the fact that fight club does glorify violence!
