Breaking Bad -Marxist analysis-

     Breaking bad is a TV series about a chemistry teacher start making pure meth to make more money for his family after he was told that he has a cancer and can't live for a long time. He wasn't poor, but one episode shows that he is invited to his former coworker' party who is nominated for some honorable prize as a scientist, and sees how rich his former coworker is now. He now has a life as a chemistry teacher in high school making just enough money to live, and as a drug dealer taking risk to make money for his family to survive if he dies. He is a very serious and thoughtful man for his family so that he starts making meth with knowledge he has as chemistry teacher meantime his former coworker who is nominated for some honorable prize has a better life worrying about nothing in his life including financial situation. 

     This conflict makes main chemistry man try to make more money by making more drugs and sell them. In one or two seasons, he makes money by making and selling drugs for his family to survive if anything happens but as the story goes on, his life becomes more involved to dealing drugs, and unescapable from what he does. In marxist theory which explains the dividing line between rich and poor, society is created for rich people to stay rich and poor people stay poor. This applies to Breaking Bad, main chemistry man. He wasn't poor but to make more money for his family to survive, he needs to make meth. He has to do something illegal to get out of his financial situation. the dividing line is seen and that is one of the reasons why he has to make drugs.
