Walter White’s counterpart, Jesse Pinkman has also undergone
a massive transformation. In the beginning of the story, Jesse is nothing more
then junkie just barley staying out of prison. Its not until he begins to cook
crystal meth with Walter, which he starts to undergo his transformation into a
much better person. Through Walter, Jesse is able to learn patience, proper
morals and advanced chemistry – three things that Jesse was never able to grasp
before. Prior to the numerous endeavors that Walter and Jesse took on, Walter
saw Jesse as nothing more then a ticket into a market he couldn’t step into.
Having gone through so much, Jesse developed a strong relationship with Walter,
which allowed him to prove himself as an equal and not just a student. Through the
series Jesse struggles with the fact that Walter didn’t consider him equal and
he strived to prove to Walter he was. Walter constantly bashes Jesse, forcing
him to “apply himself”. Jesse battles more problems with Walter through the
series which at first ended with fist fights and rocks being thrown through car
windshields, however in season 5 the tables are completely turned when Jesse
refuses to continue cooking crystal meth. During this fight, Jesse does not
attempt to retaliate to Walter as he unleashes an onslaught of insults at him.
Walter states that Jesse has nothing in his life and how he as no one. Jesse,
who has transformed into a better person, does nothing to Walter except ignore
his vicious verbal attacks and calmly walks away. Furthermore, at this very
moment Jesse proves that he won’t be seduced by desire and greed anymore and he
realizes what they are doing is wrong.
That moment was Jesses defining moment, it shows the man he has evolved into
and how he is no longer the quick tempered, problematic child he once was. Ultimately
through his hardships, Jesse has made a massive transformation from a delinquent
to a family man.
