in The Gun Song, Guiteau "‘waltzes in cheerfully, holding a gun up admiringly’, and declares: ‘What a wonder is a gun! What a versatile invention,’" while Czolgosz just stated that "[he hates] this gun." Guiteau's idealism is demonstrated by his failed delusions: he always desires what he wants, and when he cannot get it, he gets angry. For example, he angrily shouts to Moore that "[he wants a kiss]" after Moore has already turned him down, and he assassinated President Garfield because he could not be the ambassador to France. His idealism and optimism shows even in his execution scene (in The Ballad of Guiteau): he believed that "[he] shall be remembered" for him assassinating President Garfield. Pain, Desperation, and Disillusionment Pain and desperation are keywords in Zangara's character and lyrics: he is portrayed to be a poor immigrant who suffers a very strong stomachache.

Lee Harvey Oswald - The Unwilling Assassin Unlike all the other assassins in the musical, "[Oswald] is portrayed as a desperate man attempting to commit suicide and as the only assassin who had no intention of killing a President." In the scene corresponding to this (the original 1991 Off-Broadway version is called: November 22, 1963), Booth, as the leader of all assassins, tries to convince Oswald to assassinate President John F. Kennedy instead of committing suicide using countless tactics, yet he had to rely on other assassins to convince Oswald to do so. Schrader argues that "audience members who have encountered depression may find a level of consubstantiality with [him], at least until he is convinced to commit murder."
