Romeo and Juliet. Wuthering Heights. Fight Club. One of these things is not like the other. One of these things just doesn't belong.
Or does it?
Romeo & Juliet has sword fights and suicide. Wuthering Heights has a man screaming and thrashing his head against a tree. Is Fight Club all that different?
Even though you'll never read the words "I love you" in Fight Club, sometimes, in fiction, what's not being said is more important than what is. If you read between the lines, you might see that among all the blood, sweat, and broken bones, a little bit of love shines through.
