Charles Foster Conflict

1. 5 major facts in the life of Charles Foster one was When Charles Foster Kane family becomes rich, after his parents were given the mine that was full of gold which made them rich, another life fact was that he attended some of the best Universities and got expelled, he decides to take over a newspaper place because he thinks it'll be fun, Charles Foster Kane marries Emily Monroe, the niece of the president of the united states, Emily then divorces Kane. Shortly after the divorce due to Kane's affair with Susan he then marries Susan a singer and ends his career. Two years post divorce, Emily Monroe and her son pass away in a tragic car accident. Charles Foster was a very wealthy man, while Susan was a low class woman, which is quite different because Emily Monroe was a wealthy woman and you’d expect him to want to continue growing with more and more wealth in the family.

2. One of the conflicts was that Charles Foster Kane did not have a childhood, since his parents gave him away. He tells us the story by flashbacks as if he is revisiting the past. He see’s his childhood through a snow globe before he dies and that is when he says his last words ‘rosebud’ during this
When you first hear Kane's last word “Rosebud” you don’t really know what It means or expect it to be a sledge but as the movie continues we see that all of Kanes stuff is literally trash due to the fire you see the sled that his parents used to send Charles Foster Kane away which says “rosebud”. This was an item from when he was poor. I also think that the sleigh symbolizes a childhood that was removed from him. We can tell that Orson Welles uses like a slow pan when his stuff is burning so that the audience can see ‘rosebud’ and the camera zooms in. Then there's a camera shot of the chimney and smoke is coming out and from what I remember the scene ends exactly how the movie started with the Trespassing sign. His last words are a flashback/ him remembering his childhood that he misses
