The violence that moves the novel FIght Club by Chuck Palahniuk and the film Pulp Fiction shows the need for redemption from the lives that are led by each character in both pieces of work. The violence is used in some cases to prove how much of a man one is, and for others its just what surrounds their lives from work to their private life. VIolence is used to redeem the characters and make them more human.
I like this idea. I have not read or seen fight club, but the title kind of says there is probably violence in there. This is statement is great for pulp fiction, though. Most, if not all, of the characters have lives or careers filled with violence. A lot of times, the violence is not even necessary, but they do it anyway. Some questions you might think about: Why are they so violent? Why still do what they do? Do they like violence? Or is it fear of their boss that drives them to it? Why not stop working for the man, and escape all the violence? You could also look at the character played by Samuel L. Jackson, who wants to stop working altogether. You could show how it is violence that makes him want to quit.
