Karen Cote English 102 15 February 2011 W. H Auden: The Unknown Citizen The marble monument erected by the state or town is usually of a hometown hero.

The film Citizen Kane‚ directed by Orson Welles‚ is a great example of how a man can be corrupted by wealth. Through the characters in the film we can observe how Charles Foster Kane‚ an idealistic man with principles‚ can be changed and misguided by wealth and what accompanies wealth. The film takes places during the late 19th century and early 20th century‚ a time in American history when the world is changing and wealth is a great power to change it with.
