Headline: The Desire for Greatness: Understanding the Motive
Summary: Decades later, Paul Gregory attributes Lee’s motive to a desperate need to prove his significance to the world and his scornful wife. Often underestimated, Lee was a manipulative planner who viewed the assassination as a path to historic grandeur and political relevance.
Article: Lee Harvey Oswald was driven by a lifelong belief instilled by his mother that he was special, combined with a desperate need to prove his worth to his wife, Marina, who often ridiculed him as not being a "real man". Far from being a simpleton, Lee was a manipulative planner who viewed the assassination not just as a crime, but as a gateway to a show trial where he could broadcast his political theories and finally achieve the historical importance he craved.
