The Quill #6: Recommended Reads #8

“My name is Alexander Hamilton, and there’s a million things I haven’t done, but just you wait, just you wait!”

On today’s episode of “(Non)Fictional Fiancé,” we examine a man who is known best today for his starring status as the main character of his very own musical! Yes, Alexander Hamilton was a real person, but the musical Hamilton brings a new look into the man full of drama! Today we will be seeing how Alexander Hamilton from Hamilton will be at being a boyfriend!

Loyalty: ★☆☆☆☆

Throughout the musical, Hamilton isn’t very well known for being exactly that loyal. The man not only cheated on his wife, but he published the letters of his cheating! Sorry, Hamilton, but you need some lessons in commitment.

Work Ethic: ★★★★★

Work! Work! While Hamilton may not be loyal to his spouse, he sure is loyal to his work. He writes like he’s running out of time, so if you need some hard work done, Hamilton is a good candidate for focusing on heavy-duty projects like writing the several of The Federalist Papers!

Wealth: ★☆☆☆☆

“He’s penniless; he’s flying by the seat of his pants!” —Angelica Schuyler Church.

Appearance: ?

“Handsome, boy, does he know it! Peach fuzz and he can’t even grow it!” —Angelica Schuyler Church.

If we’re to take her advice, then Hamilton must be a catch, but we also have to be aware of the fact that realistically, he would have a white powdered wig on. I mean, he did somehow manage to make the Schuyler sisters fight over him, so he has to have something going for him.

Fame: ★★★★☆

We know Hamilton widely now, but he wasn’t exactly known previously as a very renowned founding father. If you are patient enough for the musical about him to come out between your time dating him, then at least you’ll have a famous boyfriend!

Dateability: ★★★☆☆

I’m very middle of the road on this one. You sure won’t have a very loyal partner, but at least you will become a loved character in his musical! So uh, maybe don’t throw away your shot?
