Implementation of psychoanalytic interpretations of the man versus self-conflict in chuck Palahniuk's fight club

Abstract EN

Conflict is inevitable for humans.

It is part of human nature.

Especially, internal conflicts are an integral part of the daily life of a human being.

The concept of internal conflict is considered the basis of all traditions of psychology, including the psychoanalytic theory of Sigmund Freud (1923/1942).

The psychoanalytic applications upon literary works have been gaining importance nowadays.

Therefore, psychoanalysis theory is a very effective method for analysing the “man vs.

self” conflict in Fight Club (1996).
