Clarification of Narrator and his boss's relationship.

The nameless Boss is presented as a corporate lackey interested only in advancing up the ladder. His patience is tested throughout the novel as the Narrator's work performance and appearance become increasingly poor. Inspired by Tyler, the Narrator threatens the Boss, which buys him time and privacy at work. The Narrator comes to realize that, under the guise of Tyler, he has booby-trapped his Boss's computer monitor and killed him.
