♫while we’re talking, let me offer you some free advice; talk less, smile more♫
Little moments of Jonathan Groff as King George III in Hamilton
Hamilton: If you were to ask me who I'd promote...Jefferson has my vote.
Me at Burr:
(Man, I wish that you can take screenshots)
oh my god so when i was watching the hamilfilm today, it must’ve been the 1000th time i heard the song “burn,” and thus heard these lyrics:
You published the letters she wrote you. You told the whole world how you brought this girl into our bed. In clearing your name, you have ruined our lives.
and it suddenly hit me. the “our” there might not be referring to eliza and alexander.
because one thing i always liked was how eliza–onstage, at least–never insults maria, even though she was sleeping with her husband. she never calls her names or blames her for the affair. she instead focuses all her energy on being pissed at her cheating husband.
and in real life, maria’s life really was ruined after the affair came out. she lost everything, including custody of her daughter. and imagine how fucking humiliated she must’ve been when hamilton published her letters.
i always heard those lyrics as: “You didn’t just ruin my life, you’ve also ruined your own, you idiot.”
but now, i think it could also be: “You didn’t just ruin my life, you also ruined hers.”
#who did it better
“By implicitly equating Eliza’s acts of narration with [Hamilton’s, Lin Manuel Miranda is] acknowledging the women who built the country alongside the men. You’re left wondering whether the “Hamilton” of the title isn’t just Alexander, but Eliza, too.” – Michael Schulman (The New Yorker)
For those just entering the Hamilton fandom thanks to Disney+
1)Welcome!
2) before you start with the “woke hot takes” about Hamilton, we have already had all of these conversations. Please don’t make us go back.
A) the characters in the musical are far from accurate portrayals of the founding fathers.
B) you can acknowledge that the real historical figure was racist/homophobic/misogynistic etc. And still like the musical
C)the musical is NOT historically accurate. Lin acknowledges it in many interviews and in the Hamiltome (the book about the making of the musical) for example: the Schuylers had more than three daughters, the Hamilton’s has more than two children, Angelica was already married prior to meeting Hamilton, it is more than likely that Hamilton, Laurens, Lafayette, and Mulligan were never actually in the same place at once... I can go on.
D) if Hamilton the musical has sparked your interest in learning what really happened, that’s good. Don’t let people bully you out of learning because of the catalyst of your interest.
Please. You can romanticize the Broadway characters. You can identify with the Broadway character. But if I see “Thomas Jefferson did nothing wrong uwu” in the tags again, I’m going to lose my shit.
