Motivation for Pushing the limits

Motivation for pushing the limits

This is the seventh and final episode of Breaking Bad Season one and I think this one is the most revealing of his character yet! This show starts off reviewing the theft at the school, while hearing them read off the allegations and what is missing Skylar and Walt start acting sexually. Than have sex after the meeting in his car. Than they go to the doctor to talk about his improvements and progress during treatment. After the baby shower he decides to tell Skylar a lie about going to alternative medicine facility, but is really going to make Meth. He leaves for his weekend and meets up with Jesse. Finding out that one important ingredient is missing and they need that ingredient to cook and the RV is not working, so they decide to steal the ingredient and cook in the basement. They cook in the basement and also successfully steal the the wrong ingredient. The Meth comes out blue. He meets the dealer's desire for four pounds of Meth. He gets the money and goes home to his wife. Mean while Skylar got accused for stealing because her sister is stealing and not recognizing it. She gets out of the accusation and pressures her sister who owns up to nothing. When Walt gets back home, they talk about the stealing and he asks what if it was me? She just jokes the question away. Than the episode ends.
I think there are some very important themes going on in this episode. Walt is flirting with power and control. The sexual scene when the episode starts shows that when he is hearing about the power he had in stealing, he is dominating and getting pleasure out of his power. He wants to steal and do more adventurous things. He is pushing the limits and like how he feels with the power and control.
In life we all don't like being out of control. We find ways to be in control, whether is not eating or not talking to someone or in control of company or breaking bad, we find away to control. We need to show a world that is trying to control, that there is a God who wants the best for us and can handle the control. He is not flirting with power. He wants the best for us. He tells us to cast our burdens on him in Matthew, and we can rest in him, and we need to show a world that does not know how to rest to be able to do this!
