Your Obedient Servant

          In this song, Burr is angry at Hamilton for dismissing him so many times and for taking over his position and Burr's anger has been building up to this moment until he just snaps. At the very end of the song he states "Then stand, Alexander Weehawken. Dawn. Guns. Drawn." Burr is hoping to have a duel with Hamilton so that he can get rid of the man that has been ruining his life by undermining him. I honestly admire Burr's ability to hold back his anger for so long while this man who was also an orphan has risen up and taken almost everything good that has happened to Burr. For example, Hamilton became George Washington's right hand man when in reality it should've been Burr. 

          Something that I found that was interesting in this song was that even though the two men were angry at each other, they still put their grievances in the form of a letter. I thought that it was humorous, because these two grown men who despise each other are saying "mean" things to each other in a formal, hand written letter. And at the end of each letter, they sign it with "A dot Ham" or "A dot Burr." The reason as to why I put mean in quotation marks is because what they say to each other is pretty mild to what people would say to each other now whenever they are mad at each other. However, that being said things started to heat up in the end when Burr asked for duel with Hamilton and that does not happen anymore in today's society.
