The metaphorical stuff isn't really something that can be summed up. And who said Tyler was dead? And was he ever really alive?

well in the book. true. but in the movie the gunshot killed him. and he was alive in "jack's"/"joe's" mind. alive to the point were "jack"/"joe" couldn't control him. it just confused me and it would be nice to finally understand how it happened.

Re: ending of book/movie

To put it simply, Tyler was a fingment of Jack's (narrator) imagination. In his mind Tyler died because he took a bullet to the head, even though it came out Jack's cheek. Jack had total control of his imagination and because of that he chose Tyler to die.

I always took it as Narrator making the choice to rid himself of Tyler, and the fact that he shot himself just being the embodiment of his decision.

if getting rid of tyler was that simple he wouldve just thought tyler away once he figured it out.

no all u guys got it wrong! JACK/JOE moved his head slightly to the right at the moment of the bullets impact, tyler obviously couldnt think fast enough and was outsmarted.

What does the ending of the book mean though? Where it seems like he goes to heaven/afterlife and then comes back or something?

If it wasn't obvious, it's an asylum, he thinks it's heaven, and Project Mayhem is still going on without him on the outside, where the dudes know him and hopes he'll be back, like Ahhnold Schwartzenegger.

I dont think his name is Jack or Joe, I remember reading in the book about the magazines in the house about the 1st person organs. Thats where I believe the narrator got it from (ex. I am Joe's Colon) and it kind of just stuck with him the rest of the journey.

As for Tyler dieing, Tyler was the state of mind in which the narrator wanted to be (the flashes of Tyler in the begining of the movie). Tyler was never really alive as Giggan said, he was just the person he wanted to be. And in the end he found that is not the lifestyle for him.

we know his name is not jack or joe, thats just the name that people attributed to  him because of all the repetition, i am jack/joe's..., its easier than having to write "the narrator"

Tyler was real in a sense, he was an extension of the main character. He realizes however that all of project mayhem and fight club itself has to be shut down. He does this by taking down their leader, his alter ego. he in the end ends up in the psyche ward of the place he calls heaven, but in reality it is no heaven and for him there is no god. But he still has his followers, the space monkeys.
