This comparison comes from Thomas Jefferson, someone Hamilton has had no dealings with yet, coming in and taking Hamilton down a notch in Cabinet Battle #1. He suspects Macbeth of killing the king and eventually kills him. When Macduff comes into the play Macbeth (Hamilton) has already made moves to gain power. Jefferson is the next to receive a comparison, this time to Macduff, someone who doesn't appear until well into the play, much like Jefferson only first making an appearance in Act II. He then goes on, however, to side with Jefferson to try to bring Hamilton's national debt plan down. Remember this also yourself my dearest Brother and let neither politics or ambition drive your Angelica from your affections. Hamilton finds this comparison as earlier in the play, in Non-Stop, when he recruits Madison to help him write The Federalist Papers. Hamilton compares James Madison to Lord Banquo next, Macbeths loyal number two who goes on to betray Macbeth to try and stop him from gaining power. Now, place your bets as to who that benefits: the very seat of government where Hamilton sits!" - Thomas Jefferson, " Cabinet Battle #1"

" His plan would have the government assume state’s debts.
