"Hamilton"'s perfect timing (spoilers)

The musical "Hamilton" and its wonderful cast came at the perfect time! I think we can all agree that 2016 has been a hard year for a lot of reasons. But one of the worst things that has elevated a lot since the musical cam out in 2015 has been judgement and horrible treatment to many many people. From racism to sexism to phobias of humans in general galore. It has been a hate filled time. But this cast has done so much to help the cause.

First look at this wonderful diversified cast of people f color! They are all amazing and extremely talented human beings, and the creator and Alexander Hamilton himself, Lin Manuel Miranda is always there to stand up for people. If you take a look at his Tony's speech he talked about the attack in Orlando against gay and lesbians and stood up for the. He repeated love is love is love is love over and over and over to show that he stands with everyone and that everyone deserves freedoms and rights. 

Also the play itself takes on social issues. For starters the entire play is about an immigrant to was one of our founding fathers. Alexander Hamilton was born in the Caribbean. It also shows Marquis de Lafayette another immigrant from France who was crucial in helping win the revolutionary war. With just two charecters this play proves that that immigrants are not what many Americans think they are. 

This also takes on the topic that women can do and be more than just bodies and housewives. The Schuyler sisters are prime examples. They were educated at the time, which not many women were at the time. They were confident and smart women who knew what they were talking about when it came to the revolution. Also the real Eliza Schuyler is the only reason that this play existed. She was the reason that Alexander Hamilton's story was told.

This cast is so amazing and I thank them for everything they do and have done. Because not only do they stand up for everyone no matter who they are, but they brought light to a dark time in the world. 

Satisfied(spoilers)

Many People associate the word Satisfied with Angelica Schuyler, because she is the one to song the song "Satisfied" in the musical itself. But not I. I think that the word satisfied does not belong to Angelica, but in fact Alexander Hamilton himself. Yes, the song "Satisfied" is about how Angelica will never be satisfied without Alexander, but in reality she is satisfied with the love from her sister, Hamilton is truely the one who will never be satisfied. He is always the one pining for something or someone else.

Through the course of the play we see him go from one goal to the next always searching for something to fill his void. It starts with him wanting to make a name for himself. He starts this by getting a coveted job of being George Washington's right hand man. He is there for every meeting and writes documents for Washington himself. He gets himself a name, but thats not good enough. He thinks he will be more satisfied if he fought in the war. Then when he got the chance to fight that was not good enough either, he wanted to lead the fight and he did all he could to try to get there, risking all of his career in doing so by fighting with Charles Lee. He does end up getting his leadership role eventually though and in that position helps win the war. But when he gets back he still isn't satisfied with helping lead the country to victory. Now he must be the best lawyer and after that when he gets an even better job at secretary of treasury he still can't be satisfied because someone he dislikes also has a position in power, Jefferson. Nothing can give him ease of mind.

Not only can Hamilton never be satisfied with his position in the world, but this need for satisfaction transfers to his personal being as well. He gets possibly the best girl, Eliza Schuyler to marry him, but still almost ruins that by cheating on her with Maria Reynolds. Then when Jefferson and Madison find out about the affair and make a deal not the tell anyone what he did, it still doesn't satisfy him. He cannot just let it go under wraps, he wants to make sure that people no he is not guilty of fraud so he writes the Reynolds pamphlet and tells everyone that he had an affair, thinking he will be satisfied if his name is clear, but of course this is not the case. It just leads to him being even more unsatisfied because his wife is so upset by the news that she practically leaves him. 

So no, I do not believe that Satisfied is Angelica's word. It is Hamilton because he will truely "Never be Satisfied".
