Angelica is still by her sister’s side. These women would do anything for each other – even living a lifetime of unsatisfied love. Satisfied is also deeply, well, satisfying: rapid-fire verse that combines contemporary nerdy references - Ben Franklin famously discovered electricity with a key and a kite – with Hamilton’s hip-hop heritage (the re-wind sample is one of the few in the musical and acts as an important emblem of the genre) and a rounding of the relationship between sisters Eliza and Angelica. While by now we’ve met Angelica as the dazzlingly bright elder Schuyler sister, Satisfied allows us to learn of her heart – and the fact that it will forever, even in death (she is buried in the same graveyard as Hamilton), be near to her brother-in-law, but never truly with him. Put aside, for a second, the fact that many historically contest the Angelica-Hamilton narrative (she was the eldest Schuyler child, but had brothers), and appreciate Satisfied for what it is: the “most ambitious tune in the show” according to Miranda, a fervent narrative of unrequited love and a fierce declaration of the injustices that faced women in the 18th century. And credit to the real Angelica, too, whose poetry inspired one of the best lines: “You have married an Icarus / He has flown too close to the sun.” 2.
Writing sits side-by-side with history-making in Hamilton, so it is fitting that the destruction of a relationship built on letters should be marked by their incineration.īurn, too, is simply a perfect ballad: Eliza doesn’t wallow in her sadness, instead, it is outweighed by the sense of her disappointment of Hamilton destroying their marriage – “palaces out of paragraphs / You built cathedrals”. Think back to the giddiness of Helpless (number eight), and how swiftly the relationship progresses – “One week later / I’m writing a letter nightly / Now my life gets better, every letter that you write me”. A woman scorned, she pours her vengeful, broken heart out at her cuckolding husband, and, masterfully through words. Remember how we said Eliza had one of the most interesting character arcs of the whole musical (number 20)? This is her finest moment.
