#there's even shades of the way mike treats stacey in the way he treats jesse but if I open that box ill die

the way in which jesse is treated by the Men on breaking bad is so similar to how the women are treated.....when hank is injured he treats marie like a maid, solely as a Provider, and he treats jesse the same way when they collaborate to take down walt, not as a human but as a resource that can be depleted and cast aside when there's no longer a purpose to be served.....obviously walt treats jesse much the way he treats skyler, manipulating him and condescending to him and engaging in a partnership that is more functional than emotional (until it Needs to be emotional, which walt will gladly exploit).....there’s even shades of the way mike treats stacey in the way he treats jesse........like the fact that we get that beat of jesse and skyler sharing that significant Look when they realize that walt treats them in the same shitty way, the detail of marie making coffee for jesse while her husband calls him a useless junkie behind his back like a way of saying that she sees his humanity, its enough to make a person feel sooooo normal
