In 2015 Hamilton was released on Broadway and became an instant hit. The play Hamilton follows Alexander Hamilton’s life from his college years to his death. While some poetic license may have been taken the underlying story is based on a historical biography of Alexander Hamilton.
In this assignment you will listen to a clip from Hamilton, where King George delivers his message to the colonists. The song is reprised in different formats 3 times throughout the play. Listen to all parts of the song and as you do follow King George’s progression through the songs, examining his attitude toward the colonists. Look at things like what is meant by the song’s title “You’ll Be Back.” Make sure you support your answer using quotes from the song.
