In 2011: Would Don Draper consider himself a 1%er or a 99%er?
Nov 17 2011, 6:08 PM EST
I see him as a moderate Republican, kind of a Joe Scarborough type, disgusted with the right wing fringe as well as the "hippie liberal" left fringe. He may be apolitical.He finally learns to be true to one woman, but she is 26 and wants kids. He is a grandfather, better at that role than fatherhood. He and Sally are finally speaking. She is still in therapy. Betty dies of lung cancer, and he is sad, but the years have built another kind of wall between them. Don quit smoking years ago and took up swimming and tennis, mostly because the sports advertising accounts, created through the cultivation of associations through membership at an elite health club have saved him financially as well as socially. His son perished years ago, when his sports car crashed into the Lincoln Tunnel, after a night of fraternity party inbibing. It changed Don dramaticaly, but hardened Betty immeasurably. That is my vision of Dod Draper, 2011. Hurry up, March!!! Do you find this valuable? |
