Charles Kane isolation and loneliness is a huge theme in the movie Citizen Kane. Kane barley has a relationship with his family and friends. Whether he is happy or unhappy, his isolation is inevitable. Through the camera techniques of deep focus and manipulating screen space the audience is shown Kane’s separation from other people. For example, in the scene when Kane was a child snowboarding we see Kane happy, after a few minutes the staging positions switches to Kane on one side with Mr. Thatcher and on the other side is his mother and his father. This camera movement shows Kane being isolated from his family and now unhappy.  Another interesting stage position is the scene when Kane’s two best friends Bernstein and Leland discuss Kane’s increasingly corrupt tactics. The three men may seem close, but the nature of Bernstein and Leland's discussion and the way the shot frames Kane mark him as an outsider. As a result of Kane resenting his parents for taking away his life he enjoyed, Kane grows up to be an arrogant and insensitive man, who isolates himself from other people. In the next scene, Kane is surrounded by men with dark suits opening presents on Christmas Day. He is given a new sled which is visually symbolic for Kane’s lost childhood. Rosebud was a word written on his old snowboard, it symbolizes his childhood and the happiness and innocence. When his second wife leaves him, he knows that he wants to go back to his old home, and live a simple life with his mother. At the end of the movie when the sled burns it represents complete loss of happiness which resulted in Kane’s isolated life. Also, Kane’s last word is “Rosebud” as he died dropping the snow globe in his hand which reminded him of his lost childhood. Not only does Kane lose his business, his wealth, and his friends, but he ultimately dies a lonely man. Different narratives are used in the movie to give different perspectives on the life of Charles Kane. This technique is used to create separation between the narrators and Kane. As each story is told, the narrators give personal stories about Kane and how he is distant from the world. Each story purposes is to show that Kane lived in a world that he created due to disconnection.
