think about julius caesar, he reshapes geography and include such a neck and is a mess striking clock. but what works as history is his place human core. the dying roman republic, struggling to navigate political forces. senator assassins seeking to restore the aristocratic republic their victim shattered beyond repair and the cold, ruthless men who replace the republic with an empire. "hamilton" is firmly grounded in its human core, presenting it skillfully. hamiltons ambition, and self-destructive this. first, political and psychological complexity. the virginian aristocratic hauteur pervading thomas jefferson. the schuyler sisters' quest to become part of the narroative in a male political world. in the world of "hamilton" politics is a human pursuit safety and reflecting its participants human reality.
