CITIZEN KANE One of Citizen Kane’s main themes was the idea that childhood is lost. Throughout the entire film, Kane was seen trying to recapture his youth. Of course, everyone’s childhood is lost. You can never go back and change what happened or what you did. I felt Kane was trying to do that. I feel this theme was brought out specifically in many scenes. The most prominent one in my mind was …

…him. Charles Foster Kane didn't lead the happiest life that he could have. Before he died his last work was "Rosebud" this word was the key to his happiness when he was a child he had a sled and its name was Rosebud. While he said his last word he dropped the snow globe, which fell to the floor. This snow globe had symbolized his ! childhood, which was when he was truly happy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
