I've seen a few essays deconstructing BB, but if I was going to analyse it, I'd say it had a lot in common with Fight Club. To become a man, the adolescent has to move psychologically, from the mother to the father. When no father is around, fictional characters are incorporated and then usually the adolescents form groups(or gangs). 'Tyler Durden: We're a generation of men raised by women. I'm wondering if another woman is really the answer we need.' So both FC and BB show problem. Don't get involved with a woman who mothers you, or you'll be caught in perpetual adolescence, or even regress. The following could have been said by early period Sheldon, if it was less preachy, more condescending. >'Listen up, maggots. You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else.'
