Mad Men is great trainwreck theatre full of those “oh no they didn’t” moments all shot sumptuously like cookbooks with supersaturated colour from that era. Call me a crank, but the female characters in last night’s episode reminded me of lines from Henrik Ibsen plays…<\/p>\n

Joan & her less than “Sterling” reputation::<\/strong> “Oh courage…oh yes! If only one had that…Then life might be livable, in spite of everything.”\u2014Hedda Gabler<\/p>\n

Peggy Blue Got Harried {in the Ideological Divide}:: <\/strong>“Whether I pound or am being pounded,\u00a0all the same there will be moaning!” \u2014Peer Gynt<\/p>\n

Dr. Faye “Donning” doormat apparel:: <\/strong>“Your squirrel would run about and do all her tricks if you would be nice, and do what she wants.”\u2014Nora in A Doll’s House<\/p>\n
