Alexander McQueen FEMME FATALE From victimization to femme fatale‚ Evans(2004) notes the progression of “prey” to a more powerful image of “predator”.

At first‚ the idea of a hip-hop Broadway musical about a Founding Father may strike certain people as silly and absurd‚ but when “Hamilton: An American Musical” debuted in 2015‚ it became an overnight hit. This show about Alexander Hamilton’s life has not only changed the way I see American history‚ but also has surprisingly influenced me as a writer. “Hamilton” is a rare production to hit Broadway.

surrounding Alexander Hamilton’s life is what made me feel connected to this founding father. His story is inspiring‚ a typical "underdog" tale that was written beautifully in a series of raps and ballads. Each song reincarnates the people present in Hamilton’s life at the time.

It is written in Old English‚ which is hard to understand because it is very different from how we speak and write today. The Old English style of writing makes it more authentic in the sense that you can take the words from the play and relate
