The characters in Breaking Bad are more than just individuals—they serve as reflections of societal archetypes. Walter White represents the disillusioned middle class, someone who believes they’ve been wronged by society and is willing to break the law to reclaim what they feel they’re owed. Jesse Pinkman, on the other hand, embodies the lost youth, caught between a desire for redemption and the harsh reality of his circumstances. Hank Schrader is the archetypal lawman, dedicated to justice but ultimately blind to the moral gray areas that surround him. Skyler White, Walter’s wife, represents the often-overlooked figure of the homemaker caught in the middle of a man’s identity crisis. These characters’ journeys explore the tension between individual choices and societal pressures, showing how the world shapes, and sometimes traps, its people.
