give me a complex rundown of samuels personality in your mind when i say complex i mean complex like 3 paragraphs
shiiiit okay here we go fasten your seatbelts (guys idk if iā€™ll be able to stretch this shit out into three paragraphs but I DID get the best score on my essay about bottled water for a standardized test sooā€¦,) also im going to be stealing a lot of stuff from genius annotations and other things beware
ALRIGHT HERE WE GO so how i see him personally is just this annoying, stuck up guy who is the #1 george III glazer (/j) + he views himself as above the revolutionists and sees them as these vulgar barbarians who are trying to lead people to ā€œthe dark sideā€ (donā€™t let them lead you astray) BUUUT although he acts all righteous, hamilton pushes him off of that high horse of his (and almost his boxā€¦,literally) with his AWESOME EPIC WITTY writing and argumentative skills showing that seabury wasnā€™t even all that in the first place (and NOT ELOQUENT!!!! cmon man you canā€™t be acting all high and mighty and then epically lose a debate to someone young enough to be your son HUMBLE YOURSELF BEFORE THAT 19 YEAR OLD DOES IT FOR YOUšŸ˜­šŸ˜­) another thing ive noticed is that whenever hamilton speaks thereā€™s little to no instruments in the background maybe showing that he doesnā€™t even need music for support of his arguments and to completely obliterate samuel (just listen to the instrumental trustā€¦ā€¦.idk where im going with this alright itā€™s 12:10 as im typing this part)

okay some other things i want to add are little details about this whole shabang like how seaburyā€™s accent seems almost forced, as if heā€™s trying to create similarities between him and the beloved figure of his majesty (/sar šŸ˜›) and the fact that seabury went by the name A.W. farmer in his papers about the revolution which IN THE MUSICAL could maybe be another example of my previous point since one of the kingā€™s nicknames was ā€œfarmer georgeā€ (although as far as i know it was used some with political satiristsā€¦.SAMUEL FCS DO SOME RESEARCH BEFORE MAKING YOUR KING GEORGESONA OR SMTHšŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­) secondly i really like the detail that lin had both seabury and the kingā€™s songs both include instruments like the harpsichord + they both use formal vocabulary meanwhile The Revolution People (TM) use more modern slang + instruments in their songs, showing the growing contrasts and conflicts between the loyalists and patriots!!!! so cool we love you LMM anywho also the fact that seabury soon realizes after hamilton starts interrupting him that he wonā€™t be able to beat hamilton with words so he might as well try to physically get ahead of him (pushing the box in front of him ect ect) and then doing his big ā€œFOR SHAMEā€ near the end as a last resort, ā€œmodulating the keyā€ as they call it /j (this one was said by thayne himself) lastly just the fact that you can hear the guys making barking and whining noises after hamilton makes his epic mange jokeā€¦.,,like thatā€™s so silly i love that for them
