Mad Mens's

a: Don draper ~
b: Jay Gatsby

What: "Like Draper, Gatsby seemed to have it all, but having it all meant only wanting more. The fabled "green light" at the end of Tom and Daisy Buchanan's dock, which Gatsby could see from his own Long Island mansion, represented everything he couldn't have."

The Multilayer Draper

a: Don draper ~
b: an HDR photo

What: "Don Draper is like an HDR photo, multilayered with a wide range of tones that from time to time looks hyper-real. By contrast +Trey Ratcliff is in fact multilayered and very real."

Hannibal Lecter

a: Don draper ~
b: Hannibal Lecter

What: "I'm sorry to liken Don to yet another homicidal maniac, but it's the same deal with Hannibal Lecter. In Silence of the Lambs, he's fascinating because he's inscrutable-his pathology is never explained."

Mr. Draper As Doris Day Character

a: Don draper ~
b: one of those smooth-talking characters

What: "Don Draper is like one of those smooth-talking characters from the Doris Day/Rock Hudson comedies. Except underneath his perfect suit, he's not funny or really smooth at all. He's a complicated character."

Mr Gable Please Step Forward

a: Don draper ~
b: Clark Gable with a back story

What: "Set in the early 1960s, when adults were really adults, or at least so we kids thought, it demos once again that great alpha males have great internal conflicts. Don Draper is like Clark Gable with a back story - women want to sleep with him and men want to be him."

Mr Martini

a: Don draper ~
b: a dry martini

What: "Jon Hamm -- his suave, unreadable, cool grace as Don Draper is like a dry martini. Soooo good, so close to the vest, such easy duplicity. Mad Men truly is an ensemble piece, perhaps that's a bit of a handicap for Hamm here. It's his first year, though, and he'll have more chances."
