it was his favorite plate, "breaking bad" symbolizes the breaking of his plate but hence his soul

Walt is doing mundane, everyday activities when he notices that a piece of a broken plate is gone.
Possible meanings and symbolism
Loss of control / disintegration of life
The missing piece represents a small imperfection in his otherwise ordered, controlled life.
Walt is obsessively meticulous about details; the missing shard reflects how his life is starting to break down as he descends into the criminal world.
Foreshadowing fragmentation
The plate is literally broken, but missing a piece makes it incomplete.
Symbolically, it mirrors Walt’s transformation: his identity and moral framework are fragmenting.
Obsession with perfection
Walt notices a tiny, almost insignificant detail — showing his fixation on control and precision.
This obsession parallels how he later approaches chemistry and his criminal enterprises.
Domestic vs. criminal life tension
The plate is a domestic object; its imperfection hints that the neat, safe world of home life is already compromised by the chaos of his hidden criminal life.
In short
The missing shard isn’t about the plate itself; it’s a visual metaphor. It signals Walt’s growing awareness that his life is imperfect, fragile, and beginning to fracture — a subtle hint at his transformation into Heisenberg.
