Name of the Movie and the Main Character:
"Breaking Bird," a parody of "Breaking Bad,” imagines Walter White, the main character from "Breaking Bad," traveling to "Breaking Bad" to fight Gustavo Fring. In "Breaking Bird," Bryan Cranston's Walter White is the central figure being analyzed. In the first season of "Breaking Bad," Walter is a chemistry instructor turned methamphetamine producer. Walter partners up with his old pupil Jesse Pinkman (played by Aaron Paul) to make and market high-quality methamphetamine after learning that he has terminal lung cancer. Walter adopts the alter persona "Heisenberg" and eventually develops into a vicious and ethically dubious figure as the story progresses. Walter also gets increasingly entangled in the risky world of drug trafficking.

Conflict:
"Breaking Bad" follows high school chemistry teacher Walter White, who cooks and sells methamphetamine. Walter's terminal lung cancer diagnosis drives the story. Walter commits crimes to protect his family from financial ruin, and his problem is caring for his family while navigating the dangerous and morally murky world of drug production and trafficking.

Feuds Theory:
Sigmund Freud's Theory: In "Breaking Bad," Walter White battles his id, ego, and superego. Walter's id wants power, domination, and money; it drives him to sell drugs to satisfy his needs and gain power. In addition, Walter's ego mediates the fight. It also balances the personal wants with his actions. The ego evaluates the risks of his illegal behavior, such as harming himself and others. Further, Walter's superego represents morality and society and inspires him to act ethically and consider others
