Rise Up! hosts Mary & Blake discuss the the relationship between Hamilton and Burr, and why they are both perfect antagonists in our latest episode – Aaron Burr, Sir.

We chat the differences between a villain and an antagonist, why he is the perfect antagonist for Alexander Hamilton, why he creates his own nightmare, why Burr has the greatest change to his character in the whole play, and why the play, “Hamilton” could, in fact, be called, “Burr”.
