First of all, who will recommend you read the post you see the movie before, because, in my opinion, one of those that you can not lose, and once read will no longer see her grace.
What does this film with Oedipus? In principle nothing. And really anything except the problem of being the guilty from the beginning and not realize until the end, when it is too late, so that the struggle against fate has become completely useless, or rather you have left carry him unwittingly doomed to misfortune.
In Fight Club the viewer witnesses the origin of the madness of a man whose name was not revealed at any time. It's a normal guy with a steady job, determined to renew the decorating your home, but suffers from a severe insomnia that begins to take its toll on their mental health without the doctor you go take him seriously, encouraging them to come to the aid therapy of testicular cancer patients so they know what which is really pain. He agrees, is passed by one of them and there are vents, so getting to sleep again, but now needs often go to any place like this, because it will regain its insomnia, and this is what happens when it is in various therapies for a girl (Marla) in the same situation, which, as Jocasta in Oedipus hiciese birth, stripped it of "home" (a half, and spread over the days of therapy differ, but they are destined to end up together). When this man has regained stability, two important events happen: He meets Tyler Durden, a boy who is fascinated with your conversation on a plane ride, and his house is destroyed by a gas explosion. Is forced to ask Tyler to give shelter, and after another conversation that makes you realize how petty materialist and consumerist life (which may amount to when the oracle reveals to Oedipus that he will commit the atrocity, the reasons for flight Corinth to start a new life) fights with his traveling companion at the latter, who wanted to know how it feels. At this time the protagonist gets a relief and satisfaction greater than that achieved in therapy, and replaces the fight club that Tyler holster, in which anyone can enter and fight in a few simple rules. Parallel to the relationship he begins his new friend and partner with the club reaches Marla unexpected success (in the myth when splendor of Thebes and Oedipus before suffering the curse) and becomes the Mayhem project, where the protagonist is increasingly less fit and have become targets of vandalism and criminals to the brainwashing of its members. 
When a man dies Tyler disappears project, here the protagonist realizes that everything has gotten out of hand, and looking out across the country is no longer his friend to stop this wave of violence. See how the project has spread in cities and is causing havoc, the police themselves are involved. Everyone looks up to Tyler, who has become a myth and it is impossible to find. Until suddenly, as I started to suspect, he discovers that he is Tyler Durden. It was revealed a member (the Tiresias particular) and confirmed by Marla. He created Tyler, because I needed to change his personality, giving life to be beautiful, smart, daring, capable of attracting the masses and, above all, free of his restraints, but with a huge destructive zeal plans to destroy the foundations of society. Thus, it was he who blew home, who organized the project, which comes with Marla .... His personality has been split (by getting rid of his blindness, as the Theban king), but he refuses to take over from him Durden. First you must avoid killing members Marla, because she knows too much and could ruin the project, then you must stop the destruction and ending with Tyler.
comes a point where they must face his alter ego, which is far superior to him. The protagonist arrives to the point where the movie starts: it is tied to a chair, overcome by Tyler, who granted the privilege of watching the explosives placed by the Project Mayhem will break down major financial buildings, culminating their goal. But tying understand that if he created Tyler is he who controls the situation, so there is no reason to be tied to his evil double master it, so that takes away the pistol with which he threatened and released chair through his mind, shooting in the cheek and the act of shooting at the head which is really the two ends with Tyler. The end is open: Marla gets there just as the buildings start to collapse, giving the impression that from now on will have a normal relationship with the protagonist, but she really was in love with his madness.
The protagonist has unconsciously wanted to avoid its fate. Have you tried to escape a boring life to do something great and that cost him a complete folly, but, unlike Oedipus, has not experienced a tragedy and aim to be happy.
