He remains as the narrator during the day time, but during the night he becomes Tyler Durden. The characteristics of Tyler Durden are quite different from the character traits of the narrator.

When the narrator becomes ‘Tyler Dryden,’ he becomes chaotic. The Empire magazine honored the ‘Tyler Durden’ character by selecting it as the greatest and most popular film character. The character builds up with the imagination of the narrator. The imaginary character ‘Tyler Durden’ is very violent in his character.

In the Fighter Club, we see the dedicated nature of Tyler Durden. In the Fight Club-2, we may notice the spirit of Tyler Durden for survival. We may also find brevity from Tyler Durden quotes, such as, “I don’t want to die without any scars.” We can follow these positive aspects of his character.

We may also find this character in the adapted movie version and the game version of this novel. However, if we want to learn the biography of Tyler Durden, we have to go through the novels and discover the character within the novels.’

According to the novel Fight Club,

In this novel, we may find the protagonist Tyler Durden or the narrator as a middle class working person. He works in an automobile company.

We find him as suffering from insomnia and despair. He used to forget his problems by vising persons who are suffering from more problems than him. One day he discovers his imaginary character, which is known as Tyler Durden.

Though the narrator thought it as another person, it was he. However, he made an affair with Maria. Tyler Durden is an aggressive character. We see him spreading his anti-consumerist ideas. He established ‘Project Mayhem’ for this purpose.

The characteristics of Tyler Durden are destructive and violent. We find him making a bomb to destroy a national museum and the skyscraper. The ‘Tyler Durden’ character is the hallucinatory character. The character vanishes after some destructive activities. After that, the narrator admits to the mental asylum.

According to the novel Fight Club-2,

We find another avatar of the character Tyler Durden. In this novel, the ‘Tyler Durden’ character is the kind of meme who transfers from person to person and generation to generation.

The narrator finds that it attacks the children and makes them suffer from anxieties. When they grow up, they also become the host of ‘Tyler Dryden’ character.

Here, the narrator, his father, his grandfather and his son are the host of ‘Tyler’ personality. Here, we find Tyler as the immortal personality which transforms from host to host. From Fight Club-3, we learn about Tyler’s child.
