freedom, and body vs. mind
Freedom:
BJM:
· Lotte experiences an sence of freedom while BJM. However, this sence of freedom is much different then the conventional freedom we think of. She feels totally and completely free. Free of specific gender and free from the reality that awaits her when she leaves the body.
· Craig also experiences a certain freedom in the body of J.M. However, his freedom is different then Lotte’s. Craig experiences freedom in a way of being able to be with Maxine as well as be able to express himself with his puppeteering having no financial issues.
FC
· Begins to find freedom when fight club is started. However, once fightclub grows to a major group in which he bieleves he is no longer a part of he losses his freedom again as he did when marla came into the self help groups.
· Freedom is again regained at the end of the move via the “murder” of
Body VS. Mind
BJM:
· Lotte clearly has a confliting combination of body and mand. She finds herself in a womans body with more of a mans mind. Atleast, a mans sex drive. Crossing over into John she is able to satisfy her mind however she becomes more intangled in a endless webb of emothin and confusion when she returns to he regular body.
· Craig is able to perform his puppet show just as well in the body of john as he is in his. This is rather impressive concidering the dexterity needed to do such motions. This clearly shows that mind has ultimate control over body. Maybe ones physical condition bears no ristrion on ones abilitys. Maybe a person can think their way through what ever he or she would like to do.
FC:
· The seperation of body and mind is clearly seen in fight club. After beginning to fight and having lasting physical damage to their bodys the participants feel better then ever. The narrarator goes to work in a bloddy shirt with a black eye and deep flesh wounds as well as laserations and for him work is much less of a hastle. He is able to ignore the stress his boss would normally impose on him.
