What role does feminist criticism play in fight club? How do you analyze it?essay

I've seen the movie Fight Club, but I
haven't read the book.  I can help you analyze any work of fiction from a feminist point
of view, though. 

First, feminist criticism isn't something
that is in a work of fiction.  It doesn't play a role in a normal work of fiction. 
Feminist criticism is a way of looking at or analyzing a work of
fiction. 

When you analyze the novel from feminist critical
perspective you will look for several things:

• Is
  the writer male or female, and how does his/her gender determine what he/she
  writes?


• What roles do women have in the work?  Are they
  more than just decoration?  Do the roles have substance? 
  


• How are women portrayed?  Are they independent?  Do they
  have value in themselves, or are they dependent on males?  Are they put on a pedestal,
  abused, or self-determined?


• What does the presentation of
  women in the work reveal about the societal views of women, in the society the work
  originates from?   

This is not a complete
list, and of course studying any work of fiction doesn't really come down to a list. 
But I hope this will help.
