Question

Do you believe Maria Reynolds should be the one to blame on the affair or should Alexander Hamilton be the one to blame?

Answer 1

I definitely think more Alexander Hamilton because he was the one who accepted her and didnt push her away. Maria Reynolds was abused and blackmailed by James Reynolds and had no choice but to follow her husbands orders... Hamilton just decided to go along with it however and kept seeing her over and over again. Thats just my personal opinion tho.

Answer 2

Maria Reynolds was abused by her husband and used as blackmail amongst wealthy individuals, Alexander may have been lured in by her, but ultimately he was the one how decided on the final action committed.
