Who is your favorite character in Hamilton and why?

My favorite Hamilton character? Well that would have to be Aaron Burr. Let’s keep in mind this is Leslie Odom Jr. he has a beautiful voice and makes Burr a great character. But why he’s such a great character even without Leslie Odom Jr playing him? He makes Hamilton think and not just blurt out. He challenged his ideas and understood. He adds story and makes Hamilton’s story interesting. He knows what’s right and wrong, and even regrets killing Hamilton but just let anger get the best of him at the moment. He also sings in my two favorite songs (Wait For It and The Room Where it Happens) and he seems to love his daughter a lot and is willing to kill for her.

Explanation:

Alexander Hamilton

Explanation:

Alexander Hamilton is the protagonist of the musical. The entire show follows his rise and fall during the American Revolution and the beginning of the American nation. Born on an island in the Caribbean to a poor family and eventually orphaned, Hamilton had a rough childhood that he is ambitious to overcome. At nineteen he goes to America to get an education. Smart and extremely motivated, Hamilton does everything necessary to “rise” and earn the respect and authority he feels he deserves. He is a scrappy, ingenious, and opinionated man. His writing brings him a lot of attention, as does his tendency to argue with just about everyone. Passionate and opinionated, Hamilton frequently criticizes Aaron Burr for not being committed to any beliefs, and the pair share a respectful but contentious friendship.  Hamilton becomes George Washington’s right-hand man during the Revolutionary War, and therefore is integral to the American colonists' victory over the British. After the war, Hamilton serves as the first Secretary of the Treasury. He is immediately removed from the president’s cabinet after John Adams is elected, but his influence on the nation was long-lasting. Hamilton was responsible for the structure of the American financial system, as well as creating the coast guard and the newspaper The New York Post. At the end of the play, he dies in a duel with Aaron Burr.
