heads up for Breaking bad spoilers obv but Ok so there’s a couple things that relate Jesse to jesus christ . one of the more obvious things is the theme of self-sacrifice ; from the start of the series we see jesse being used to sacrifice things of his own under walt’s orders (parking the RV at his house & the hole burned into the floor). later on this escalates to losing Jane, Andrea, Brock, etc and eventually his freedom and ultimately his identity (El Camino). its kinda interesting bc his sacrifices develop from being directly under walt’s demands to being betrayed by walt , especially when the sacrifices become more high-stakes & more associated w his development into a better person

his position as a drug dealer & the people he associates with bc of that actually connects to the way christ often was seen in the company of thieves (yeah) and prostitutes (a pretty direct example being Wendy). and then there’s that whole thing with christ and his disciples - (im getting a LOT of this info from How to Read Literature like a Professor by foster) - christ-like figures are usually associated w a group of people that follow them around, a lot like Jesse’s friends (Badger, Skinny Pete, and for a little while Combo) that help distribute the meth & continue to help him up to El Camino where they help him escape

there’s smaller things too, like jesse being good with kids (this is a repeated theme in the show, i always thought it was interesting how much this was emphasized & how much sadder it makes his character but that’s another topic). in rehab jesse mentions liking woodworking in high school - jesus was a carpenter! and two more specific points mentioned in How to Read Lit: being in agony & humble mode of transportation. these im less sure abt but you could definitely still connect them to jesse. like his whole thing is being in agony at the end of the show & at several points during it (not entirely physical, but still). humble mode of transport is DEFINITELY more subtle; remember that cool bouncing car he had at the start of the show? and how he had to swap it out for the boring, subtle one? i would count that

there’s possibly maybe other things but my memory is Not That Great

ALSO (better call saul spoilers under the cut)
