Good thing Alexander Hamilton didn't live to see The Burr Conspiracy.

He really dodged a bullet.

It annoys me when people say Hamilton doesn't have enough feminism in it and that the women in it aren't "strong enough".

Are you kidding me?

All four main women in the musical represent a different type of feminism.

Angelica Schuyler represents the rebellious type of feminism; she's the one that blatantly resists oppression and refuses to be ruled by men's opinions.

She stood up to Aaron Burr, thus creating her own revolution against prejudice and sexism.

She shows us that sometimes, to be strong is to stand up for yourself.

Elizabeth Schuyler represents the supporting type of feminism; she's the one that listens to other people, always giving them a shoulder to cry on in their hardest times.

She comforted Alexander when he was worried she'd leave him because of his lack of money, saying that she doesn't need more than just him being alive.

She shows us that sometimes, to be strong is to show kindness to those who need it.

Peggy Schuyler represents the quiet type of feminism; she's the one that follows rules and listens to her father without asking questions, nudging her sisters to go back home (which she does to keep the three of them safe), but is also helping her sisters out whenever she can.

She kept Laurens out of the way at the winter ball so Eliza could have her chance at finding love with Alexander.

She shows us that sometimes, to be strong is to help the people you care about, even if they don't always know or appreciate it.

Maria Reynolds represents the misunderstood type of feminism; she's the one who is being constantly hurt and torn down by a man, but is still begging to be saved by another man, and then being victim-blamed for it.

She silently endured abuse to keep her daughter, who is not mentioned in he musical, safe.

She shows us that sometimes, to be strong is to know when to be weak.

Hamilton is full of feminism, not to mention the fact that the musical ends with Elizabeth Schuyler being the reason people still know about Alexander Hamilton and his legacy, more than 200 years after his death.

All thanks to a woman.

Lafayette: Alex, if you had to choose one animal to describe Washington, what would it be?

Alexander: A Bald Eagle.

Lafayette: ...

Alexander: He's right behind me, isn't he?

I need somebody to write a book about Odysseus' journey through his dog's eyes (Argos).

It can be a god or goddess giving him the ability to see through other dogs' eyes for a short amount of time every time, and this way he'll be able to guard Odysseus during his journey until he comes home.

Someone needs to draw Jekyll and Hyde as the phrase "a wolf in sheep's clothing".

I love how in "Aaron Burr, Sir", Laurens, Lafayette and Mulligan ask Hamilton for his name and he doesn't answer, and yet in "My Shot" they all spell it out perfectly in synchronization.

Aaron Burr, Sir: "Ooh, who are you? Who are you? who are you? Ooh, who is this kid? What's he gonna do?"

My Shot: "I am the A-L-E-X-A-N-D-E-R."

Like, how?

Jefferson: *gets down on one knee*

Hamilton: Oh my god, it's finally happening!

Jefferson: *falls over*

Hamilton: The poison is kicking in.

"Burr, when you see Hamilton, thank him for the endorsement."

Aaron, are you Alexander's letters to Eliza?

Because you just got burnt!
