Dissociative identity disorder is one of the most studied and least understood mental disorders by society. Despite its uncertainty, the disorder has been used as a narrative device in films since the silent film era. Symptoms of the disorder represent an opportunity for screenwriters and filmmakers, as depicted in David Fincher's 1996 film Fight Club. However, the representation of a mental disorder in films can be mistaken if the characters are not solid. For this reason, in this paper we analyze how dissociative identity disorder is represented in the construction of the leading character in the film Fight Club, specifically the psychological dimension of the character. Likewise, it seeks to analyze the representation of the dissociative identity disorder through the symptoms of the character, especially, how these symptoms are accurate regarding the mental illness. Therefore, the main contribution of this research consists of providing a greater understanding of the representation of dissociative identity disorder in the character The Narrator from Fight Club.
