"And me?"
Close to the end of 'Alexander Hamilton', when Burr says, "...And me? I'm the damn fool that shot him...". We hear about 3? ensemble members say, "Shot him, shot him, shot him". Could those three "shot hims" be like an echo in the back of omniscient Burrs head because he has always been part of the story ever since the first line in the musical and he knows how the musical ends since he's kind of a narrator character so it's just something that he can't help but think about?? Or it could be an expansion on the "I hear wailing in the streets" line from 'The World Was Wide Enough'? I'm kind of leaning into the first one because of the contemplative absentminded?? look on Leslie Odom Jr's face in the proshot after those lines are said. It could also be a "shot heard around the world" type of deal, but I don't really want to count this as an interpretation because the only piece of evidence I have backing it up is King George's appearance in the 'Reynolds Pamphlet' which a lot of people interpret as the Reynolds pamphlet reaching the U.K. so I thought if his sex scandal reached other parts of the world, why didn't his death? Especially with the way the vocals were positioned when the ensemble members said those lines... You could hear them in different parts of your ears. Am I making a mountain out of a molehill? Probably. But this stuff is fun to think about and share!!
