Do Walt and Jesse ever like each other? It was more like a father and son as the series grew. In many ways, Jesse is Walt's perfect vision of a son he never had. The feelings were mutual at least till season 5.
Jesse shows his love for Walt through simple, often under-noticed deeds. Giving him a birthday present when nobody else cared to. Apologizing for threatening his life even when both the characters and the audience know, deep down, that Walter is deserving of death.
Nope. Walt absolutely destroyed Jesse's life. He did unforgivable things to Jesse, such as letting his girlfriend die and poisoning his other girlfriend's son just to manipulate Jesse. If you take a closer look at the last couple of scenes of Walt and Jesse together, you can clearly see that Jesse is a changed man.
The landlord, Jane Margolis (Krysten Ritter), is a part-time tattoo artist and a recovering heroin addict. She and Jesse soon become romantically involved.
He most definitely cared, but cared about himself more. It's evident that he cared about him up until the very end. He was extremely bitter about hank's death and compound that the fact that Jesse snitched on him, and used his money to lure him, all that made Walter really angry with Jesse, and I'd argue rightfully so.
Walt and Jesse: The Most Conflicting Relationship in Breaking Bad
Why is Walt obsessed with Jesse?
While Jesse is constantly searching for acceptance and his place in the world, Walt seeks acknowledgment, admiration, and someone to follow his lead, which he finds in Jesse. Though their relationship frays over time, it nevertheless forms the emotional crux of Vince Gilligan's nuanced world.
Does Jesse still hate Walt in the end? In the final scenes, Jesse refuses to kill Walter when handed a gun, and being fully aware that Walt was responsible for Jane's death, he parts ways with him; forgiveness is ambiguous.
His tears could be a manifestation of guilt and regret for his actions. Grief: Walter had developed a relationship with Jane, and her death would have been a significant loss for him.
After realizing that it was Walt who poisoned Brock, Jesse went ballistic. He wanted to bring Walt to justice, even if it meant he has to confess to everything he had done up until that point as well. As a response to this betrayal, Walt put a hit out on Jesse's head.
Jane was shown to love Jesse very much as she saw many similarities of herself in him, taking enough pity on him to live next door to her and allow him to stay even after it was revealed that he lied to her about his real name.
I always had the impression that Skyler was more like a compromise to Walt, she was the good enough woman, but his true, deep love had been with Gretchen. She was gorgeous, caring and had the common passion with Walt.
The finale did give Jesse a happy ending of sorts when Walt, finally showing something like remorse for what he'd done to his former student, set him free. But our final image of Jesse was behind the wheel, screaming, gunning it down backroads to make his escape. It's an ending, but it's hardly closure.
What are all the horrible things Walter White did to Jesse Pinkman? Blackmails him into helping him cook meth. Abuses him emotionally and verbally. Forced him to dispose of bodies.
I think Jesse just realized that Walt actually saved him. They both betrayed each other, but they made peace at the end. They knew that the other had to go through a lot and lose so many things, so the score was a draw.
Gretchen was born into a wealthy family and at one point began working for Walter White as his lab assistant at his and his best friend Elliot Schwartz's company Gray Matter Technologies. She and Walt eventually sparked a romance, fell deeply in love and were at one point engaged.
Later on, Walt himself admitted to Jesse that he poisoned Brock with a Lily of the Valley plant just to keep Jesse on his side in order for them to orchestrate the death of Gus Fring, but by that point, their relationship was already in shambles.
Then Jesse ratted him out to Hank + inevitably caused Hank's death (in walt's perspective), so he wanted Jesse dead (this time not to protect his family, but for revenge). Then in Felina Walt asumes that Jesse has partnered with Jack in peddling his product. He makes the drive back to ABQ fully ready to kill Jesse.
Jesse was useless to him, so he plans to kill him, since he knew too much and he always hated him anyway. But Walt prevented it. But then his uncle (hector) sees how they tried to poison tuco. He warns tuco and he gets mad af.
By examining the social and internal interactions of the character Walter White, it is clear that he could be clinically diagnosed with a narcissistic personality disorder.
Walter White chose the alias "Heisenberg" based on the German physicist Werner Heisenberg, using it to separate himself from his actions and suppress guilt, reflecting the famous uncertainty principle associated with Heisenberg's work.
On one hand, he could have tried to save Jane by overturning on her, preventing her from choking on her own vomit and it would've prevented a series of events that resulted which included the double plane collusion. On the other hand, she would have been a distraction and a threat to Walt's business.
To me hanks final words to Walt about him being the smartest person he ever met conveyed that he knew he was going to die and that he was somewhat at peace with Walt. He must have at last realized a bit that Walt wasn't the cold hearted sociopath he thought he was...
Whatever was left of Walt's good nature had been overtaken by his need for control of his remaining life. The reason Walt confessed to Jesse about Jane's death ties into this steady downfall of Walt's morals and motivations.
