In Hamilton, it's not straightforward. A variety of factors come into play. The social and political context, the characters' relationships, and their goals all contribute to determining who has what fate and whose story gets told.
Well, it's a complex mix. Historical forces, the politics of the time, and the individual wills of the characters all play a role. Sometimes fate intervenes, and at other times, it's the characters' actions that shape who lives, who dies, and whose story is told.
In Hamilton, it's often a combination of historical events and the characters' choices that determine these things. The story unfolds based on real circumstances and the decisions made by the characters within that framework.
