In my thesis, I shall discuss Chuck Palahniuk’s novel Fight Club as a text which
reveals the relation between irony and rule-breaking. By close-reading the text, I will
argue that rule-breaking cannot only be relieved of the possible accusations concerning
its violent manifestations in the text, but it is also an action which is crucial for the
protagonist in the course of developing a connection with reality while trying to fashion
something that one can call “self.” In my argument, I will problematize the assumption
that the “self” has properties of its own, on a non-relational (non-linguistic) basis.
