his own singing in a quasi-hymnic, sometimes inspirational style," based on the 1991 Original Off-Broadway Version. Leon Czolgosz - Fighting Against Political Injustice In the scene before The Gun Song, an anarchist Emma Goldman inspires Leon Czolgosz to take actions for his anarchist beliefs and the "societal injustice" that he noticed. In The Gun Song, Czolgosz had a "moody contemplation of how one gun connects backward to the many lifes it consumes in its manufacture," and later he claims that "[a] gun claims many men before it's done. Just one more," where his assassination target was President William McKinley. The political injustice in Czolgosz's timeline would be the "class inequalities in America." Desiring Attention Many assassins in this musical have their lines reflecting their need for attention, and according to Wang, "what unites each of the assassins is the desire for attention." In How I Saved Roosevelt, Zangara was extremely angry about not having a photographer even at his execution: "and why there no photographers? For Zangara no photographers! Only capitalists get photographers!" Another assassin, Moore, "proclaims that one of her motives was ‘so that her friends would know where [she] was coming from.’" Lynette 'Squeaky' Fromme and John Hinckley - Trying to Draw Attention of Their Crush Fromme and Hinckley are described to be a "loving couple" in the musical, but they are actually showing their love to try to draw attention from two different persons. Unlike some assassins such as Zangara whose goal and story might reflect many of the themes, these two assassins had only one - to get attention from the person they love (for Fromme, it was Charles Manson; for Hinckley, it was Jodie Foster). In the short monologue before the song Unworthy of Your Love, Hinckley states that "[he] will win [Foster's] love, now and for all eternity." Idealism and Optimism This theme is mainly represented by Guiteau. His idealism and optimism might make audience members "feel more sympathy for Guiteau than for some of the other assassins." Charles Guiteau - Look On the Bright Side Throughout the musical, Guiteau has his lines and lyrics all trying to show his idealism and optimism towards his life and the world. The quartet The Gun Song, which Guiteau participated in, and the song The Ballad of Guiteau both have him portrayed as an optimist while others are depicted as dark and not so optimistic. For example,
