However Breaking Bad appears to be an inversion of this concept, as Walter White experienced trauma through out his life which he repressed and is now resurfacing through the acknowledgement of dying, and deals with this by acting out though Heisenberg as a means of regaining control of his life in order to feel safe. Relating back to Freud (1919), he states “what is heimlich thus comes to be unheimlich” (420) – which suggests the link between where the two words intersects and creates a paradox or conceptual opposites where as an example the more you feel safe, the more you are open to harm.

Flashbacks in "Breaking Bad" serve to advise us that Walt 's past has had an impact on his current condition - he 's still, all things considered, honing science and paying special mind to his family 's prosperity - and on his conceivable fates.
