    He looks dead. At least as close to dead that you could possibly get while still living. His face is sunken in and he looks three times his age. He’s deathly pale with a tint of yellow that always seems to come with sickness. All the muscle seems to have disappeared off his body‚ leaving behind skin and bones that could be mistaken for toothpicks. Photos line the wall of a star hockey player‚ and a high school track record setter along with numerous ‘Get better soon!’ cards. It’s odd to see that

    episode of the Breaking Bed‚ I disagree with Harvrilesky that Walter White is unlikable because I believe that TV shows even make the anti-hero to be likable. The anti-hero characters‚ in the TV shows and films‚ have some specific historical backgrounds and show the audience the purpose of these anti-heroic actions‚ which usually convert the audience’s senses of unlikable anti-hero into a of sympathy or respectfulness. The main character Walter White‚ a chemistry teacher at a high school‚ is diagnosed

    starting to slip away from us” In this scene‚ as usual‚ Ruth and Walter Lee are bickering but I now see where the root of the problem lies. It is like they have become accustomed to the life they live but do not want to accept; Ruth and Walter placed blame where they saw fit.

    Throughout Breaking Bad‚ the portrayal of Walter White gains consistent sympathetic support for his past and present situations. This coerces viewers into giving generous amounts of empathy‚ even among the transition from protagonist to antagonist. In the beginning of season one‚ Walter White‚ a mild-mannered‚ innocent high school chemistry teacher‚ supports himself‚ his disabled son‚ and his wife‚ who is carrying their unborn child‚ on a teacher based salary of $45‚000 a year.
