This is probably the most thorough analysis of what Hamilton stands for I have read. You hit it right on the nail. This musical has encouraged a lot more people (including me) to seek a more nuanced understanding of our country’s history. I’m watching a showing in Chicago in 2 months. I really hope the cast is good!

I recently rewatched all of Legend of Korra and soon after found this article. The amount of research and analysis put into your piece is really impressive. I think your analysis of the villains and their role in Korra’s growth is spot on. It also fits very nicely into what the storytellers frame the Avatar as–a figure that brings balance to the world, whether it’s between benders and non-benders, people and spirits, or people and people.

Awesome read! Another argument for the regular book is how the “tactile experience” as you describe it can sometimes enhance the reading experience. For example, as someone runs their fingers through the 800 pages of Alexandre Dumas’ The Count of Monte Christo, we’re experiencing it the same way his original readers would have, the way Dumas may have expected his audiences to experience it. The weight of the book acting as an extension of the weight of Dante’s vengeance on his psyche or the length of the book as an extension of the long-windedness of his oft harrowing journey. Some people even claim they just feel inexplicably more spiritually connected to stories on paper. I know for most it may seem insignificant, or even silly, and I used to think the same way, but I’ve grown to really appreciate the feeling of an actual book.
