Compare and Contrast

The split personalities of Edward Norton’s character in “Fight Club” and Jim Carrey’s character in “Me, Myself, and Irene,” are very similar but can be contrasted as easily as cinema-graphic lighting and a laugh track. In trying to compare and contrast these characters, one thing that helped me is deciding which of these split personalities I would rather have.

Jim Carrey’s character in “Me, Myself, and Irene” is an all around nice guy. Everybody in town knows him and is well liked by everyone. Charlie gets pushed around a lot and no one takes him seriously, this is were Hank arrives. Hank, Carrey’s split personality arrives when all the emotions of being pushed around and his wife leaving him finally come out and it happens to come out as another person. Hank basically is the guy that doesn’t take anything from anybody and if he has a problem with something he lets you know about it.

Edward Norton’s character in “Fight Club” is the average “Joe.” The 9 to 5 desk job, an apartment furnished entirely by IKEA and Pottery Barn.


Both characters end up fighting with their alter ego’s in their respective movies. In “Fight Club,” its pretty much the subject of the entire movie, in “Me Myself and Irene,” it’s these comedic battles, which attracted viewers. In “Fight Club,” the characters first fight as an outlet for their pent up male aggression, and actually get along better with each other because of it. The two characters become best of friends. In “Me Myself, and Irene,” Jim’s normal character “Charlie,” and his evil persona “Hank,” are never friends and are always trying to suppress each other for the love of another. Charlie’s doppelganger never goes any further the aggravating the general public, where as Tyler does this, as well as blows up the headquarters of every major credit agency in a tri-state area.

He says, “I had become a slave to the IKEA nesting instinct. If I saw something like the clever Njurunda coffee tables in the shape of a lime green Yin and an orange Yang, I had to have it. The Haparanda sofa group with the orange slip covers by Erik
