Both of them believe there separate things, and this leads to them being portrayed very differently. In the song "my shot" Hamilton is singing about how there needs to be a revolutionary war so he can help fight for the freedom of their country. Hamilton is a very outgoing man while Burr keeps more to himself and doesn't really talk about what he thinks. In "my shot", Hamilton says, "don't be shocked when your hist'ry book mentions me, I will lay down my life if it sets us free". This shows that he is willing to do anything, even die, if it means his country will be free. Meanwhile, in "wait for it", Burr is talking about how much he loves Theodosia and how he just wants to be with her. He says "He has something to prove, he has nothing to lose" talking about Hamilton. This almost puts Burr in a place where he sounds jealous of Hamilton and how he isn't scared to do anything. But Burr is more trapped in his own body, and doesn't like sharing why and how he feels the way he does. Hamilton is more open and outgoing, while Burr is shy and keeps to himself.

Makes Burr sound jealous of the way Hamilton is and wishes he was more like him. https://nowcomment.com/documents/289868?scroll_to=2575093 https://nowcomment.com/documents/289868?scroll_to=2575093 Fri, 24 Sep 2021 12:52:05 -0400 kind of in the same boat as Hamilton, both of their parents died young. Which left them both as orphans having to fend for themselves. https://nowcomment.com/documents/289868?scroll_to=2575088 https://nowcomment.com/documents/289868?scroll_to=2575088 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:08 -0400 shows that he's always trying to be there for Theodosia because her husband can't be. https://nowcomment.com/documents/289868?scroll_to=2575069 https://nowcomment.com/documents/289868?scroll_to=2575069 Fri, 24 Sep 2021 12:45:47 -0400
