Breaking Bad is a TV show that
played on AMC for 5 seasons, the main character Walter White was diagnosed with
lung cancer and as a chemistry teacher he had no way of paying for it himself.
And when offered to have his medical bills paid for he declined because he is
an extremely prideful man. So he begins cooking meth with one of his students
who barely graduated high school.
This show is a great example of
identity because he lives two separate lives, as Walter White a loving father
and caring husband and Heisenberg a ruthless and greedy meth cook. Throughout
the show you begin to see a change in Walter White’s personality. The alter ego,
Heisenberg, slowly consumes the once gentle and loving father, Walter White.
And his family soon begins to fear the man they once loved.
A villain in the show, Gustavo
Fringe, displayed the persona of a business man with a fast food industry, but unbeknownst
to his employees and friends around him he was actually a meth distributor. He
was able to fool the DEA while he was right under his nose. Gustavo’s death
showed symbolism. He was blown up and half of his face ended up missing. This
symbolizes the two-faced nature that he lived by.
