Abstract: This paper examines the development of the character of Walter White, the central character in Vince Gilligan’s TV series Breaking Bad. It analyzes Walter White’s transformation into an antihero in the context of social psychology, drawing upon these three concepts: motivation, frustration-aggression hypothesis, and attitude change. This paper delves into these psychological contexts along with the role of the secondary characters who are seen as part of the reasons for this transformation. The aim of this paper is to raise awareness and to pinpoint the propagation of the antihero's character.
