My Theories on Walter White

Hey there all you Breaking Bad fanatics!

I was of course thinking about Breaking Bad the other day, and I remembered something I had lost a while back.  With all this talk about this amazing show here, I have yet to do the best topic!  A sole purpose post about underlying themes displayed in our protagonist, Walter White.  This, as you all know, is one of the most complex not only protagonists, but characters in TV history.  I have found many points about him that have developed over the show that I would like to elaborate on for this specific blog post.

As just stated, there is one thing that is obvious about Walter White, but still must be addressed. Walt, as a character, has developed.  Over four seasons now, he is really never the same as we was the season before, relatively.  Making a leap from a fairly timid chemistry teacher to a terrifying all out criminal, Walter White has us, as watchers never knowing what he is doing next. One characteristic about Walt that is worth noting; hes unpredictable and constantly developing.

Another thing that is just heartbreaking about Walt is his relation to his family.  He originally started cooking meth for his family.  But as the story, and his motives progressed, separate from Skyler, family is not all that stressed.  I have heard people act like this is a downfall for the show, I couldn't disagree more.  Walt is becoming a criminal, he is in the game for the game now.  As sad (and horrible) as it is, family isn't what it used to be for him.  It's a pretty awful midlife crisis, right?

More coming about Walt!

Thanks!
