Edward Norton plays an insomniac. He is weird and can only cry around people with 'real' problems. He is lost as a person and tries to find thing, e.g furniture, that will define him as a person. He sees things. We don't know much about him or his background or why he is the way he is. We know that he works in a boring office job and he strikes us on the surface as a normal, plain and average guy. Most importantly, we do not know his name.
Brad Pitt plays Tyler Durden and he strikes us as a bit of an off the wall character. He is laid back and spontaneous. He lives in a dump and is wreckless. Him and Edward's character form a brotherly bond and Tyler is seen as more the leader and Edward the sidekick.
Marla Singer, played by Helena Bonham Carter, is strange and scary. She is pale skinned and pretty unhygienic, relating her in a way to Tyler. She strikes us as quite 'up herself' but also intriguing and interesting. She is enigmatic and tough. She smokes and is pretty fearless.
