yknow when u have a headcanon abt a character but like ,,,,, u dont play that character so u cant rly talk abt the headcanon bc its Irrelevant™
anyways here’s an eliza headcanon : i get the sense that by the time of ‘schuyler defeated’ she already knows about the affair ??? this is why i think the change between workshop schuyler defeated ( with her leaping to help alexander & obviously on good terms with him ) and final schuyler defeated ( where she’s much more passive , that pause before i’m sure he already knows ) is so drastic ––––– she doesn’t want to hear about alexander’s politics , she just sorta sounds empty at the mere mention of him. she’s already in her burn dress by this point , & she’s constantly in the wings or on the balcony in terms of stage directions ( even during say no to this , as far as i remember ) , so it’s implied that she knows about the affair long before the pamphlet just through that ( and i think i saw somewhere that historically she probs knew about it before the pamphlet?? ) but she doesn’t have lines again till burn , and that’s , well , pretty obvious in terms of where i’m going with this.
