## Resource

Breaking Bad: The Psychology of Walter White (based on Nietzsche) The character of Walter White shows an interesting psychological transformation throughout the series that has been discussed and analyzed for years. Was Walter White simply a frustrated man gone evil? Or was there more to his evolution into Heisenberg? Could it be that Walter White achieved what many others only dream of, namely, to overcome himself? Through the lens of Nietzsche’s idea of the ‘Overman (or Übermensch),’ this video explores the psychology of Breaking Bad character Walter White.Please note: this essay doesn’t condone Walter White’s actions, nor does it encourage people to imitate him. Also, this video contains Breaking Bad footage and imagery which belong to Sony Pictures, and it does contain spoilers.Video: Breaking Bad: The Psychology of Walter White (based on Nietzsche)Support the channel: ✔️ PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/einzelgangerco ✔️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/einzelgangster ✔️ Bitcoin: 3HQnEz1LQ4G6dqN2LdZgzc7qoJjJCyWjTC (Donated BTC and want in the credits?
