I can't be expected to be normal after hearing the words:
" 'I've seen enough,' he says, 'I know exactly what I want
And it's this life that we've created
Inundated with the fated thought of you
And if you asked me to, if you asked me, I would lose it all
Like petals in a storm
'Cause, darling, I was born to press my head between your shoulder blades, at night when light is fading
Just to let you know, I'm old, waylaid and feels like I am wading
Into carpet burns and carousels
Christ, you'll be the death of me' "
Like??? How am I supposed to exist after this ripped open my ribs and played them like a xylophone

some thoughts on sara jane moore and lynette fromme :)
i think it's really interesting how their scenes are the only ones in the show played almost completely for comedy. byck's monologues usually get the most laughs, but you also find yourself agreeing with some of his critiques on society/the government. emma goldman's "not mine alone... but mine" is usually played as a joke, but the rest of the scene is tender and serious, and the line gets later re-contextualization in the ballad of czolgosz. i think in most of the comedy in assassins, there's a part of it that can be taken seriously.
however, in the kfc scene and gerald ford scene, it's almost completely played as comedy. it's joke after joke after joke, and while it's definitely dark comedy, you don't relate to anything they say or find yourself with a new perspective on something. and i think that's really interesting! most of the time when the audience is laughing at moore or fromme, we're just laughing at them.
i like how assassins shows that we treat moore and fromme differently from the other assassins just because they're the only women to attempt it. their irl assassinations are so similar that you could write it into one event, which is exactly what the show does! when we think of fromme, it's usually followed by moore, or vice versa because we think of them collectively as "the women who tried to shoot the president" which is why the show lumps them together. maybe we don't think of either of them with much depth because they're women. they don't even get their own songs, unworthy of your love is a duet that usually ends up more focused on hinckley because his assassination is right after, and the gun song is a quartet with an emphasis on czolgosz.
i think one of the exceptions to this is moore's solo in the gun song. while most of the show doesn't focus on gun control, moore's solo forces you to remember how easy it was for these people to obtain their guns. the gun was on sale, and so was the shoe!
while moore gets a segment we can understand, fromme doesn't, and i think that's because she's generally the one we can't really relate to. while it's easy to understand and relate to czolgosz or zangara's anti-capitalist motives, most people will not have experiences being in a cult or being romantically devoted to a person to the point of murder. moore is a bit easier to understand, and while the show does make her motives kind of confusing, eventually you can get that she's a frustrated house wife who needs a way to express her anger at the world.
on moore's motives being confusing- i have mixed feelings on this. i think showing her irl political motivation is important, and gives the audience something to connect her with. in the show you don't really understand what the prize she's trying to win is. on the other hand, similar political motivations are already shown through czolgosz and zangara, and showing it again might be too much. it also goes back to a us treating the assassins as surface level, like how czolgosz is written as an immigrant while in real life he was born in america, most people won't know moore for her politics, they'll know her as one of the women who tried to shoot the president, so that's what she's shown as.
tldr i think it's really interesting how the way moore and fromme are written to directly parallel how we think of them.
