Analysis Of Walter White Junior In Breaking Bad

I'm writing about RJ Mitte known as Walter White Junior in breaking bad. Walter "Flynn" Hartwell White Jr. is Walter and Skyler's Mittes seventeen year-old son. He attends J.P. Wynne High Schooll, where his father used to work as a high school chemistry teacher. He is the older brother of Holy White. He was born with cerebral palsy, manifested in speech difficulties and impaired motor control, for which he uses crutches. He grows apart from Walt due to his father's absences and bizarre behavior, being taught to drive, for the most part, by his friends and going through a phase in which he preferred to be called "Flynn." I chose to write about Walter Junior because I love this show and I thought it would be interesting to write about him. Walter Jr. plays a role as the lanky, dark-haired teen who had to adjust to the role he was playing. He has a mild case of the neurologic disorder, and extensive therapy helped overcome some of its more pronounced symptoms. His character uses crutches and has a different speech pattern. He says that "Getting used to (Walter's) crutches was really ...

    In summary, this series is packed with ethical and circumstantial implications of family, however, of this analysis is only focused on Walter White’s behavior due to his situation. Walter never gets ‘caught’, which makes the mind wander to the idea of seeing how far one could go until they are apprehended. The series allows one to forget that Walter is doing this for his family; it also numbs the audience to things like drug-use, cold-blood murder, and selling ‘street-pharmaceuticals’.

  • The Protagonist in A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry

    The first reason I believe that Walter is the protagonist is because he isn’t a selfish man. What I mean by this is when he is talking about issues he tends to discuss family issues above his own personal things. Though at times in the play when he is drunk and loses his temper he does start speaking selfishly, I believe that his overall attitude in the play is for his family to move up the world. I believe that Walter’s son Travis is the main reason why he acts so unselfishly. He seems to want the best for this son and doesn’t want his son to feel that there isn’t anything he can’t have or do.

Although he tries to be a loving man, sometimes he does not know how to show the idea of love, 'Sometimes...sometimes...I don't even know how to try' (Hansberry 89). His position in life can be regarded as symbolic of every black male struggling to provide for his family by any means necessary. Although Walter has a job, it seems inadequate for his survival. As a result, he has become frustrated and lacks good judgement. Throughout this play Walter searches for the key ingredient that will make his life blissful.
