Last night I had a hand full of strange dreams, including helping bears with broken legs and living in my dream house. By dream house, I don't mean the house that I hope to live in one day; I mean the house that, for some reason, I end up being in my dreams constantly. However one most down to Earth dream was one about me meeting Dean Norris, the actor who plays 'Hank' in Breaking Bad. After hearing what my subconscious would hypothetically to Hank, I feel like I should press on the character for a post.
Hank is Walt's brother in law, in other words; their wives are sisters. Hank is very macho and extremely sarcastic. But above all he is a good guy that cares about his family immensely, including the Whites. The scarce connection between the Walt and Hank is that they are on opposite ends of the plot. Hank is a high up DEA (drug enforcement agency) agent.
The show never uses this connection to make easy conflicts. Instead the connection is emphasized through Hank's sanity, in essence. Hank is always one step behind Walt, finding his tracks of deaths and product. Walt produces a product like no-one in the world: Blue Meth. This is easily singled out by the DEA, however they cannot find the 'Hesseinburg' who supposedly makes this product. Walt's criminal name is Hesseinburg. Hank is more and more annoyed with the fact that he cant find this man. Further and further down the road, Hank dwells over this man (Walt) day and night and eventually starts to loose his sanity.
After a turn in the third season, however Hanks side-plot takes a turn. Now us viewers get to put together two feelings conveyed by this great character.
Keep watching!
thanks!
