Abstract

The concept of five stages of grief has long been acknowledged as a base to understand the emotional experience of loss. The song from Hamilton's musical, "Burn" portrays this concept in a sorrowful nature as it tells a story about Eliza Hamilton who is in grieve due to her husband's affair. Through the application of psycholinguistics and pragmatics, this qualitative study aims to examine the portrayal of five stages of grief (Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance) in the song “Burn’ by Hamilton Musical. The analysis results show the lyrics in the song unveiled Eliza going through all five stages of grief, though not depicted linearly. The song's focus is primarily on anger, as it has the most lyrics devoted to this stage. This analysis is hoped to offer new insights into the ways in which music and lyrics can portray a story emotionally and create meaningful connections between art and life.
