Revenge of a Failure: The Philosophy of Breaking Bad — Podcast

One of the most beautiful aspects of a story is observing the transformation of a character within that story. Changing a person is a difficult task. However, when that person is placed under certain circumstances, sometimes there is no choice but to change. Breaking Bad is one of the productions that beautifully portrays this character transformation. The process of a harmless, even timid man turning into a ruthless drug baron is narrated with great elegance and with deliberate pacing. Throughout the series, viewers are left pondering one central question: How does this transformation occur?

How can someone seemingly ordinary possess such potential for evil? What psychological motivations truly transform a person into someone different, and as a result of this transformation, how do long-suppressed emotions from the characters' past resurface? This podcast's subject is the philosophy of Breaking Bad.
