Why Is Walter White In Breaking Bad

He quit smoking and chewing tobacco just to save up those extra few dollars. Although he was in illegal activities, such as selling alcohol which in that time was illegal, he was a “thug”. He made sure that no matter what he was doing, he accomplished his goal of having money. In the original dream, all the hard work you had to put forth to achieve your goal was like a lesson learned. However, in our century’s corrupted dream, all the struggles are worth it as long as you make it to the riches and the high standards of life. The whole act itself revolves completely out of money. It is more important to showcase items and mount them on walls then to show intelligence, faith and families.

This only further infuriates Walter. Not only does his mother make a complete power-grab by buying the house; she bought it in a cracker neighborhood! Walter storms out and is almost ready to kill someone over it. He feels he has lost his only shot at power. Walter comes back home screaming at his whole family, they don’t support him, especially his mother. He accuses her of not supporting his dream.

       Walter was upset when he heard his mother had spent the insurance money on the house and thought it wasn't fair that Beneatha got some of it for her medical school while he got nothing for his liquor store business. Lena, who always wanted her son to be happy, trustingly gave the rest of the insurance money to Walter. Holding the money in his hands, Walter thanked his mother and appreciated the trust she had in him. Walter then gave the money to his buddies to help him getting his liquor license without realizing that they betrayed him. As his dream crumbled to pieces, Walter was regret that he didn't listen to his mother, wife and sister.

In the beginning Walter is very selfish and only seems to care about the liquor store, he even asks Beneatha why she can’t just be a nurse or marry a rich man. The reason he says this to her is because he wants her to not go to medical school. Walter would rather invest the money rather than use it to pay for her schooling. Walter puts his own selfish needs before his family’s

The newfound distributor turned out to be a sociopath, so in order to protect his identity Walter created the alias Heisenberg for himself. This was the point when Walter’s psychological health began decaying rapidly.

driven by a force to prove himself but also to get revenge on his father, Walt, whose past continually

Walter’s appeals were denied and despite many desperate arguments by Bryan in his defense, the court was not changing their mind. He soon hired Michael, an assisting attorney and former heroin addict. With their investigations, they discovered that Bill Hooks was paid by the sheriff to provide false testimony and plenty more incriminating evidence that only proved that Walter was innocent. Out of nowhere, Ralph Meyers contacted Bryan and wanted to talk to him. When Bryan got to the prison, Ralph admitted his whole testimony was a lie, and that he was threatened the death penalty by the police if he did not testify against Walter. He also admitted that he did not actually know anything about the murder of the woman, and only decided to come

From Walter White’s aforementioned behaviour, he can be diagnosed with two disorders: narcissistic personality disorder and antisocial personality disorder. Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of self importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others; behind a mask of extreme self confidence lies a fragile self-esteem (Mayo Clinic, 2017). This inflated sense of self importance was showcased when Walt believed that without himself involved, methamphetamine production would cease to exist; the truth was that several people had learned the formula and would be able to continue without his aid.

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

Also his entire family stole from each other which made everyone in the family

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,

Walt Masters seeked justice for the claim jumpers who jumped an old man’s claim during the Klondike Gold Rush. This story appears when the Klondike Gold Rush was happening. Next to Walt, there was a neighboring claim owned by an old man by the name of Loren Hall. Loren had to go to Dawson, and Walt looked over the claim while he was gone. Walt had an ambition to serve justice and save Loren when his property was in danger. He is a very brave boy who has experienced things other children haven’t, and he will definitely help when someone is in need. “Last of all, he has a good heart, and is not afraid of the darkness and loneliness, of man or beast or thing” (London). This quote shows that he isn’t afraid of anything and that it will help him when he needs

I also chose Walt because he went through a lot to help Loren. He also dodged bullets for him. He even went through Mazy May for him and that is difficult even for a man.

Suddenly, things changed, and Walter and his family came into quite a bit of money. Walter’s mama got a check for ten thousand dollars from her husbands life insurance after he passed away, which was a lot of money in that period of time. A nice house or a liquor store could easily be bought with half of the money from the check. Since the check was actually written out to mama, the money was all technically hers, so all that she wanted to do with it was buy her new house for her family, but stubborn Walter, he wanted his liquor store, and would stop at nothing to get it. When he finally realized that his mama was never going to give him the money to get the liquor store, he took it upon himself to get it himself. He eventually stole a portion of his mama’s money to get the store, but he was taken for a fool when the other person that he was making a deal with, stole all of his money. Now he had nothing, and mama had only some of her money.

The conclusion of the film was extremely dramatic and effective at reiterating the neighborhood’s increased confidence over the gang activity.  Walt began the confidence building by standing against the gang publicly.  This brought the neighborhood to think of him as a hero and shower him with gifts of praise.  It was befitting that he would martyr himself in the end.  Lying on the ground dead like Jesus nailed to the cross.  His essential “suicide by gang” was not the only possible solution to the problem.  Though conflict resolution through communication with gang members would more than likely fail, neighborhoods in similar situations have stood firm as a community against gang violence and intimidation.  Using the latest technology, they have driven gang elements away.  By joining neighborhood watch and documenting illegal behaviors from gang members, neighborhoods have made themselves less attractive for gangs to reside.  “The gang's power increases through their use of fear and violence to intimidate rivals and citizens alike. This tactic can be countered by citizen action groups such as Neighborhood Watch. A neighborhood that is united in the goal to stop gang crime and violence can be an effective force in curbing gangs”.  (Orange County Sheriff Office, 1992, p.1).
