Ancient Literature in our Modern World

I find the following scene of “Breaking Bad” to be a good example of Jacobean drama.

Before this scene, Jesse Pinkman and  Walter White, the show’s main characters decided that in order to quickly sell all of the large amounts of meth they had produced they had to expand by selling in more places. The problem was that all other places were already occupied by rival drug dealers. Pinkman, knowing of the dangers of stepping into other’s territory, reluctantly agreed to send his long term friend Combo to sell in enemy territory. After a few days of selling meth, Combo encounters rival dealers who “eyeball him hard.” He calls friends to ask for back up and as soon as he hangs up the phone an innocent looking child on a bicycle approaches him, asks him a question, and appears to leave. Then, a gun cocking noise is heard and the young boy is shown behind Combo with a gun in his hand. I believe the rival drug dealers forced the boy to kill Combo on that street corner as revenge for selling drugs on their territory. This scene is just one of the many shocking and unexpected scenes that have made this show so popular. As the storyline goes on, we eventually learn that the 11 year old boy is the brother of Pinksman’s girlfriend; it turns out he was manipulated into joining the drug gang and the killing was all part of an initiation ritual. Consequently, Pinkman avenges his friend’s death by killing the two drug dealers seen in the clip.
