Week 7.1: Hamilton


Reading/Listening:
Hamilton Disc 1, Tracks 13-24 ("Wait for It" - "Nonstop")


Study Questions:
1. One of the themes of Hamilton is about creating oneself through writing and storytelling and a concomitant concern about how one's story will be remembered. This will be complicated as we move to the action on the second disc. How have these concerns manifested themselves thus far?

2. Hamilton has been widely discussed because of its focus on race. However, there are also overlooked ways in which Hamilton calls attention to issues of gender equality. How have the Schuyler Sisters also brought attention to issues of gender inequality?
