Hamilton’s a jerk that can’t keep it in his pants, that’s it, the entire thing.
ACT 1: Jk, so Hamilton comes from the Caribbean where he had this really crappy childhood, but he was a really good writer, so the people on his island raised money to get him an education. SO he goes to New York, graduates college at like, 19, and then hunts down Aaron Burr to ask about the revolution. Hamilton then meets John Laurens(the cinnamon roll who hates slavery with a passion), a guy who we’ll just call Laf because we all hate his full name(a french fry that came over to help with the revolution), and Hercules Mulligan(a tailor that served as a spy in the revolution). Hamilton decides to join the revolution, and ends up being Washington’s literal “right hand man.” Side note, he marries this Eliza chick around this time. WOO THEY WIN THE WAR. So for the rest of act 1(which is like two songs) Hamilton’s a lawyer and is ecstatic about starting a new nation.
ACT 2: Jefferson shows up, Hamilton hates him, they fight about slavery. Hamilton cheats on his wife, then writes about it, and Eliza’s upset, but as shown in “Burn,” we’re not sure exactly how she responded to her husband’s infidelity. Philip, his eldest son, graduate college, and gets into a duel with George Eacker for bad mouthing his father, and Philip gets shot, and dies of infection soon thereafter. (This isn’t in the play, but fun fact, Philip’s sister, Angelica, had mental issues for the rest of her life because of her closeness with Philip.) When 1800 comes around and there are presidential elections, Hamilton greatly upsets Burr by voting for Thomas Jefferson because, “Jefferson has beliefs, Burr has none,” which I interpret as Hamilton saying that Burr wouldn’t ever make significant changes to the country(also I’d like to point out that Burr changes his opinions more often than girls change clothes[it’s a metaphor please don’t kill me]). Burr challenges Hamilton to a duel, Hamilton shot towards the sky, and Burr killed him.
Everyone’s sad, the end.
