Summary
modern, cynical take on hamilton & burr’s concurrent lives. concrete themes include substance abuse, terrible families, fundamentalist christianity, shady journalism, sexual infidelity, underground & white collar criminality, poor decision making skills, unemployment and that ex you can’t seem to leave. abstract themes include alienation, obsession, paranoia, dishonesty. Most of the plot points are pulled directly from historical events, but slightly changed and edited to fit a modern world and a cohesive narrative– so, not everything is one-for-one. hamilton comes from poverty and a broken home and rises to the upper echelons of society by talent and unhinged force of will; burr comes from wealth, influence and a family that despises him, and burns it to the ground. you already know this story.
