"Felina" - A Title with Multiple Layers
The last episode of *Breaking Bad*, titled "Felina," is a masterclass in storytelling and clever titling. Not just an anagram for "Finale," which is already a cool nod, the title carries deeper meanings that enrich the viewing experience. "Felina" is also the name of the song played in the episode, a track that eerily summarizes the plot in its lyrics despite being written decades earlier.
A Chemical Breakdown: Iron, Lithium, Sodium
But the brilliance of "Felina" doesn’t end there.
It’s also a clever chemical breakdown: "Fe" "Li" "Na" represents Iron, Lithium, and Sodium. These elements symbolize blood, meth, and tears, respectively, perfectly capturing the essence of Walter White’s journey. The blood represents the violence and death that follow him, meth signifies the drug empire he built, and tears reflect the immense emotional toll on everyone involved.

Throughout the series, Walter White transforms from a mild-mannered chemistry teacher into the ruthless drug lord, Heisenberg.
