Philip Hamilton broke my heart. When I first heard Hamilton sing about the love he had for Philip in "Dear Theodosia" I felt a tingly feeling in my stomach. Hamilton knew his son would blow us ass away and man was he right.The minute we met his character in "Take a Break" I fell in love, and not just because Anthony Ramos is possibly the cutest human alive. He was so adorable trying to impress his father with his little rap for his Dad. He wanted to be like his father and give contributions to the world. He wanted to be the best just like his dad.
Philip was extremely bold and confident in himself, which made him such a lovable character. He knew what he wanted to fight for and he chose his battles, he just chose the wrong battle to fight. He chose the one battle that would end his life and break the hearts of many, including his mother, father, myself, and everyone else who has listened to the song "Blow Us All Away". The most heart breaking part about Philip's death was seeing Eliza so heart broken AGAIN. She didn't deserve to lose her son the way she did, especially after already having her heart broken by the man she loved most, Alexander Hamilton.
Philip Hamilton you broke my heart, but I will forever love you.
This was such a sad scene because Phillip was so young and he died trying to defend his father's reputation which makes it worse because he loved his father so much that he was willing to die for him and he did. I think that if Phillip had survived the duel and grown up, that he would've been like Hamilton or at least tried to be like his father. Hamilton would've taught his son to go after what he wanted to not let anyone stop him or discourage him from reaching his goals.
