On the surface, this is a more overt call to individual experiences.
Instead, the introduction to Whitman comes through Gale Boetticker in Season 3.
For a battle call, rousing to arms if need be, yeas, centuries hence. Krazy-8 (strangled by Walt) No-Doze (killed by Tuco) Breaking Bad season 2 (Image credit: AMC) ... Who died in Breaking Bad season 2? In the season five opener, he pours himself a glass of Pinch after taking out Gus Fring—in that episode, as in last night’s, he never gets a chance to finish the drink. Breaking Bad is also a show full of symbolism and poetic imagery: Walt’s copy of Leaves of Grass makes an appearance throughout Season 5 for a reason. Walt, however, thinks Gale is a threat to his freedom to become self-sufficient and take over the meth operation.
He thinks he has freedom to be all and to move past any issue, but this confidence is really arrogance that leads to death. Let's review: 1. At this point in the show, Walt has moved one step closer to what he thinks is his freedom: absolute control over his meth empire. This is a conflicting freedom, though, as the more control he has, the more sinister he becomes. Are you sure you want to mark this comment as inappropriate? Of course, this version of freedom is really dangerous hubris, and it begins Walt’s downfall. Before getting into how Whitman’s poetry gets used in Breaking Bad, I think it’s important to look at some lines from Leaves of Grass, first from “Song of Myself” and then from other parts of the collection. The two chemists are at odds with each other, contradicting each others’ visions of what it means to be free along the way. There’s no accounting for taste.

Walter White’s belief that controlling his meth empire will bring him freedom contrasts with the idea of freedom in Leaves of Grass, yet Walt keeps trudging away at what he thinks will free him. In “Song of Myself,” two concepts of freedom emerge: an idea of awareness or transcendence, and an idea of an individualism that honors personal experience over the ideas of sacrifice for the better good of society. Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars. But he is also an adversary, a potential threat to the small steps Walt has taken toward a mythological freedom. When Walter White’s drug busting DEA brother-in-law, played in true bulldog style by Dean Norris, bit the dust at the hands of a bunch of neo-Nazis and was buried in an unmarked grave somewhere in the desert, it was hailed as the most gut-wrenching Breaking Bad episode ever – no easy feat.
On last night’s penultimate episode of the AMC series, a gaunt Walt perched on a barstool and did just that. When collared by The Independent’s editor Amol Rajan on the subject in the loos recently (more on which here) Walter White actor Bryan Cranston allowed himself 90 seconds to think about the answer. Which, in a roundabout way, brings us back to Whitman. 3 New Hotels Perfect For A Personal Reset, From Hollywood to Hawaii, 93 Vegetarian Dinner Recipes We've Got on Repeat, 20 Rules For Making the Best Salads of Your Life, The Whiskey of 'Breaking Bad,' from Knob Creek to Dimple Pinch, Vince Gilligan is a professed fan of WhistlePig. The viewer realizes that even though Walt says he’s out (and the viewer might assume he is safe), He has made a major mistake: his pride in keeping his copy of Leaves of Grass will begin Hank’s quest to bring him down and to get his Heisenberg. But what will Walt fight for? 2.
It becomes a way for him to reclaim and maintain a life where he has control, where he can make decisions freely without worry about the consequences. More than I have charged myself, heeded or unheeded, to compose a march for these States. It’s not through Walter White that we are first introduced to Whitman’s influence on the themes in this show. This all leads us to that pivotal moment in episode 8 when Hank finds a copy of Leaves of Grass in the Walt’s bathroom. Instead, Walt is a man who thinks he’s won his freedom, as if it’s something he had to fight to attain. It’s important, I think, to take a look at why the show’s writers use Walt Whitman’s poetry, a copy of Leaves of Grass, and Gale’s naive assumptions about freedom to slowly unravel Walt’s broken concept of individuality. This concept of “gliding out…off by myself” fits Gale as a character because his vision of freedom is of a spiritual transcendence. For a show that inspires more conspiracies than Apollo 11, it’s all got to mean something. Kevin Spacey is back as the conniving Frank Underwood on 27 February for the third season of this hit White House drama. It represents more than a book — the copy of Leaves of Grass Hank finds in the bathroom at the end of episode 8 — it sets up a philosophy and motivating force for Walt as he moves forward with his meth operation and finds that it lacks the meaning and purpose he’d hoped for. It allows our most engaged readers to debate the big issues, share their own experiences, discuss real-world solutions, and more.
While Gale, symbolically, is content with “gliding out,” Walt is “Gliding o’er all, through all.” In some ways this represents Walt in Season 5: confident, arrogant, controlling, and able to take charge. Sometimes, things don’t go your way. Hank Schrader is Walt's DEA agent brother-in-law. Want to bookmark your favourite articles and stories to read or reference later?

Throughout Breaking Bad, the poetry of Walt Whitman comes to frame the show’s narrative arc, and Whitman’s lifelong poetic project Leaves of Grass is full of insight into concepts of freedom and the “life” it gives us. It’s also a contradiction that frames Whitman’s poetry: freedom is both blessing and curse, and a nation that believes in liberty is also one that suppresses and controls certain parts of its population and goes to war with itself over that control. Dimple Pinch's unmistakable triangle-shaped bottle was patented in 1958—actually the first glass container to be registered as a trademark in the United States. That Walt would be this careless goes to show how far he has come. On both occasions, a single malt might have seemed more appropriate then a middle-brow blend.
“That’s a damn good question and I don’t know the answer,” he said. This reason is very clearly laid out in episode 8, but even before this, it suggests the philosophical contradictions in Walt’s view of the world. How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick. Now that Gale — who became a pawn in this battle against Gus Fring and his meth empire — is gone, Walt is closer than ever before to wandering off into “the mystical moist night-air” of his freedom to be what he wants. It's times like these that you’d probably turn to a glass of whiskey.
In fact, Whitman makes part of the conflict between these ideas part of the poem: “Song of Myself” can be interpreted as a call to experience life, and that through experience, one can find fulfillment and freedom from the mundane.
Walt Whitman’s major work of poetry, Leaves of Grass, has come to represent the contradictory visions of freedom within America. Fondly, G.B.”. Common belief holds that Hank's case against Walt in Breaking Bad is composed almost entirely of circumstantial evidence. The drama documents the trials and tribulations of Goodman before he moves to his strip-mall law office in Albuquerque. Either way, the book given to him by Gale is the very thing that brings us to the final chapter in Walt’s meth cooking life.
This idea of “gliding out” also contradicts the poem that comes to represent Walt in Season Five: “Gliding O’er All.” In this poem, Whitman speaks of transcendence in a different way: The voyage of the soul — -not life alone.

At the front is that damning evidence that links Walt to Gale, which links to Gus and the meth empire: Walt is Heisenberg: he is now both brother-in-law and enemy #1. At this point in Breaking Bad, it’s clear that Walt isn’t anyone to be called a hero anymore. This conflict between the individual experience and a shared experience itself is unresolved throughout the poem, and later, Whitman writes: If I worship one thing more than another it shall be the spread of my own body. Hank was a cancer. Leaves of Grass has been interpreted in so many ways that it’s hard to pinpoint what exactly he meant in these poems, but it’s clear the poems continue to influence both philosophical and spiritual views of destiny, freedom, life, and death. No not The Matrix - but directors Andy and Lana Wachowski have created a new sci-fi drama series involving eight strangers from around the world who suddenly become mentally and emotionally connected after a tragic event. But quite why Hank had to meet such a grizzly end was one of the most talked about threads to come out of the now infamous Ozymandias episode. Vince Gilligan is a professed fan of WhistlePig , … “Gliding O’er All” is the title of episode 8, and it’s in this episode that Hank finally links Walt to Gale and Gus through the pages of Leaves of Grass. Over the years, Hank has investigated the source of the high-quality blue meth of "Heisenberg," Walt's underworld alter ego. By deserts parch’d, snows chill’d, rivers wet, perseveres till he reaches his destination.
Hank's career would have been finished and he probably would have been under investigation to boot.
