I think Pete is a bit more complex than the way he is displayed in Mad Men. He is obviously no Don Draper, but I think Pete stands as a close second. He is so confused and has no sense of direction. I think the scene explanation about Pete's feelings towards Trudy is also an effective way to describe him. The only clearness in his life is with Peggy. The way he treats Trudy in the first season is ridiculous. If he kept up with that I could see a Don and Betty happening all over again. I don't necessarily think that Pete has disregard about the truth, but I do think that he is unaware of his actions and how he displays himself. He gets a little smarter as he watches how some of his actions fail to get in closer to his goals. The complexity of Pete's character is growing more in depth as the season goes on and I wouldn't be surprised if he became a bigger role in later seasons.Alex Lestarchicknoreply@blogger.com
