The next episode up for review is the 'Marriage of Figaro'. In this episode, Don's daughter was having a birthday. He was trying to build her a playhouse as his wife cooked and planned a birthday. Over the course of the building, Draper had an almost uncountable amount of beers.

At the party, the topic of conversation was the fact that a divorcee had just moved into the neighborhood. All of the women where highly judgmental about that fact that she had this past. They judged every little thing about her, to the fact that she wrapped a present in Christmas wrapping due to her other paper being packed up to her going on recreational walks. I knew divorce wasn't super common, but I didn't realize how much it was looked down upon.

Another things that was very looked down upon was counseling. I have grown very passionate about looking into a future in counseling and to see that there was such a stigma to it not very long ago is strange. Don's wife has been told by a few doctors that she should see a therapist, but Don thinks that only really depressed people need therapy and since he has given his wife everything (but fidelity) she must be happy.We obviously know now that it has nothing to do with it, but as we accepted counseling, we also have, as a culture, accepted divorce.

The major thing that stuck out in my mind in this episode happened while all of the children where out playing. They were playing 'house', as Don had build a playhouse. The things that the kids where yelling were 'not now', I have a headache', 'it's your fault', 'you never listen', ext... Don was looking and seeing the kids doing this, and it got so overwhelming, he look off and didn't come back until much later that night. This really just reminded me of the verse in Proverbs 22:6 "train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it". Children really are like sponges and they learn from their parents how to be an adult. In that young state, these are the things they think they need to say in order to be like the parents they look up to so much. It truly broke my heart.
