Walt's Biggest Flaw?
This is sort of a "WHICH CAME FIRST? THE CHICKEN OR THE EGG?" kind of question. Which character flaw do you think sent Walt down the path of breaking bad?
Pride - because he wouldn't accept money from his former lab partners? An inferiority complex - because he didn't have the confidence to fulfill his early promise? Lack of conscience - because now he can't seem to stop his criminal actions no matter who it hurts, endangers or kills (i.e. Jane and Donald Margolis, Hank, Gale, Combo, Krazy8, Saul, Jesse)? Greed? Ambition? No empathy?
I think I'd have to say that Walt's greatest flaw which in enabled everything to happen and continue on is his lack of conscience. Somehow, his faulty rationalizing seems to smooth over any concerns about what his actions have wrought on those around him that a normal conscience (or morality) would have prevented him from doing.
