The Correctness Discussion Topic #1
(Note: This is a repost of the original)
Today’s Topic:
Hobbes is to Calvin what Tyler Durden is to Edward Norton’s unnamed Narrator in Fight Club.
Things to consider….
1) Everyday when he comes home from school, Hobbes pounces on Calvin, thus he is fighting himself
2)Hobbes may be an extension of Calvin’s personality he may not be ready to deal with yet, ie: his latent attraction to Suzie Derkins. In the Movie, it’s Tyler who bangs Marla, the Edward Norton character doesn’t even admit to being attracted to her.
3) All of these characters are, in their own way rebelling against authority
4) People who have a decal of Calvin peeing on the logo of a rival truck do NOT get Calvin and Hobbes. AT ALL.
Discuss.
Please note the Correctness has received a special dispensation, and we can, this one time, talk about Fight Club
The Correctness Explains
The Correctness has been receiving a fair amount of e-mail looking for clarifications and understand about plot points in famous films. We, as always, are correct, and aim to spread understanding in these cases. Let us begin.
Dear Correctness,
Was the gun that Edward Norton’s character uses at the end of Fight Club real, or was it imaginary like Tyler Durden?
