Jesse isn't an innocent bystander in Breaking Bad. He does actively participate in crimes, and he's also Walt's way of getting into the drug trade, because Walt was once Jesse's teacher.
Walter White, Jr.
While he can be selfish and greedy — and he's always bugging someone to make him breakfast — Walt Jr. is Breaking Bad's one true innocent, a character whose transgressions never amount to anything more than standard teenage selfishness.
Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) is primarily an ally to Walter White in Breaking Bad, but there are a few times he double-crosses, cheats, or attempts to get trip up Walter. Jesse isn't evil as much as he is like the prodigal son, who has been led astray and seduced by greed and quick money.
Originally Answered: Did Jesse Pinkman forgive Walter White? Serious spoiler about last episode: Jesse will never forgive Walt. He is so disillusioned with Walt in the end that he even refuses to finish Walt off because he knows that's what Walt wants and Jesse is NOT going to do what Walt wants ever again.
sensitive and affectionate, though he tries not to show it. His 'street-smart,' would-be-gangster attitude thinly conceals a more vulnerable, sympathetic nature. Jesse does know his way around a drug deal, but his attempts at appearing 'hard' are very obviously learned and affected.
Throughout Breaking Bad, Jesse finds himself constantly suffering as a result of his involvement in Walter's business. He's beaten, nearly killed multiple times, imprisoned, and suffers severe anxiety and depression as a result of his experiences.
It's hard to call anyone in the Breaking Bad universe a hero, as almost every character is a criminal, but each project proved that Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) was the real hero.
I understand the second time Walt ordered Jack to kill Jesse (in the desert after Hank died): Walt felt betrayed by the seemingly only person he held a soft spot for (other than his family). Jesse did something Walt never dreamed he would do, which was spill to the DEA.
The finale did give Jesse a happy ending of sorts when Walt, finally showing something like remorse for what he'd done to his former student, set him free. But our final image of Jesse was behind the wheel, screaming, gunning it down backroads to make his escape. It's an ending, but it's hardly closure.
After realizing that it was Walt who poisoned Brock, Jesse went ballistic. He wanted to bring Walt to justice, even if it meant he has to confess to everything he had done up until that point as well. As a response to this betrayal, Walt put a hit out on Jesse's head.
Gustavo "Gus" Fring is a fictional character portrayed by Giancarlo Esposito in the Breaking Bad franchise, serving as the main antagonist of the crime drama series Breaking Bad and a major character in its prequel Better Call Saul.
He is a crystal meth cook and dealer who works with his former high school chemistry teacher, Walter White (played by Bryan Cranston). Jesse is the only character besides Walter to appear in every episode of the show.
Jane was shown to love Jesse very much as she saw many similarities of herself in him, taking enough pity on him to live next door to her and allow him to stay even after it was revealed that he lied to her about his real name.
While Jesse Pinkman is technically a villain and someone who would typically be hated on most shows, in Breaking Bad he is the most likeable character. While he cooks meth, kills people, and generally just causes problems for people, he is showcased in a really positive way.
At a young age, he was kicked out of the house and forced to live with his aunt until she died of cancer. His aunt's wife was taken away from him too after it was revealed that he was cooking meth in it.
It's ironic that Jesse and Walter Jr., Walt's biological son, never cross paths in the show. This actually invokes a sense of sadness in realizing that Walt seems to outwardly show more love and affection for Jesse than he does his own son. He demonstrates this after being blackmailed by Jesse's girlfriend, Jane.
In the season 5 episode Confessions Jesse realises that Saul and Huell took his ricin cigerette on the orders of Walt (Jesse finds this out by threatening them with a gun) which causes him to also realise that Walter was behind the whole false story of Gus poisoning Brock when it had been him all along.
Whatever was left of Walt's good nature had been overtaken by his need for control of his remaining life. The reason Walt confessed to Jesse about Jane's death ties into this steady downfall of Walt's morals and motivations.
In Breaking Bad, does Hank feel respect/sympathy/forgiveness for Walter just before he dies? Yes. Forgiveness may be a stretch, but certainly some degree of understanding. It's my favorite scene in the series.
Jesse didnt care about Walt going to jail, he knew any prison sentence would be meaningless anyways since Walt was going to die shortly regardless. He wanted to take Walts money from him, which was the only thing that Walt cared about and the only thing that could possibly hurt him.
Breaking Bad is one of the rare series that features a villain as a protagonist. Whereas Walt is evil, Hank is good. For all intents and purposes, he is the hero of the show.
Throughout the five seasons of Breaking Bad, Walt caused the death of almost 300 people, directly or indirectly. As the character descended into wickedness, Walt didn't necessarily seem to fall under the label of a psychotic murderer.
Jesse was simultaneously a victim and an orchestrator of his own demise.
