Character Analysis Of Amc's Breaking Bad

The evident boundaries between the mother-son and father-son dyad seemed to blur. Walt realises of his lost bond with his mother and how he regrets his father not being there in his childhood, just as he is unavailable for his younger brother now. He realises his self-image as being an emotional and sensitive person as opposed to who he was trying to become with his father. As opposed to his character, Bernard goes to Joan and requests her to re-think the divorce. In his last scene with her, he puts his guard down and expresses his vulnerability, to which Joan starts to cry as if expressing her exhaustion and hopelessness. It’s appreciable that though the picturisation has been done from the point of view of Walt, it never fails to highlight the emotions and sentiments of other characters invariably. With equal focus on all the artists, it is hard to say who had the leading

Walter is an African American chauffeur for a white family but he does not like that one bit because Walter see's all these white people with their own business and since he sees it almost everyday he feels like that's all that matters in the world.Walter see's how all these white people are happy with not a worry in the world because of the money.

Walt was good at his job and doing well to perform his duties, but then few things happened around him, which changed his whole life. The first thing or event was corruption, which he was seeing around him in his company. The second thing was to see the superiors also doing corruption and looting money from the company accounts. And third thing was customers of the company. He saw that even customers don’t pay up their money to the company, but still company is bearing them, so he thought if customers are free to do so, then why he cannot do so. He saw that rules are being broken everywhere, so he thought to do so as well. These three events became the major factors for Walt to think about committing a crime

Breaking Bad is a TV show about a science instructor, Walter White, turning to cooking methamphetamine when he finds out that he has terminal cancer, so as to leave some legacy for his family. The show accompanies Walter as he changes from a compliant and empathetic father to a cold, merciless drug kingpin through the wrong decisions he makes in life. Vince Gilligan made the show with a dream of having the hero turn into the adversary as the show advances and to investigate the subject "actions have consequences." In giving Bryan Cranston a part as Walter White, Gilligan picked a performing artist whose livelihood bend dovetails uncannily with his character. As Walt changes from such a family man himself into a force eager executioner,

Walter himself is obsessed with pushing the limits of science and changing the truth of reality. The Government incarcerates Walter in a mental institution due to an accident at his lab. When the show begins and Olivia and Peter remove Walter from the institution, he is a very different person. He does not regret what he has done, but he is more considerate with how he proceeds.

Even though Walter makes a lot of simple minded decisions he doesn’t always learn from them. After the loss of the money, Walter did not know what to do with himself.
