Kane seems to be unusually .
larger than everyone in the room. This makes him look superior to everyone else .
including the audience. .
As a writer for the Inquirer, he writes about events or happenings that have not .
happened yet, or things that are not true. Everything he writes, he writes for .
entertainment and to please the people. This is where the corruption begins. He .
manipulates people to love him by writing things they want to hear and by writing like .
this, he thinks that they will love him. In the movie, he says that he wants people to .
believe what he wants them to believe. The people love his newspaper and his newspaper .
is soon the number one best seller. As if that's not enough, he hires everyone from the .
Chicago Tribune. Kane, friends, and colleagues throw a little celebration for his success. .
A band comes in and starts playing a song and in comes dancing girls marching in. A .
man and the girls start singing a song dedicated to Kane. This only fuels his thirst for .
power since his newspaper company is a success.
His first marriage is to the president's niece, Emily, which fails because he lets his .
need for power take over. He only married her because being the husband of the .
president's niece brings much more publicity to him and advantages of great .

opening many newspaper companies is not enough, so, he runs for governor thinking this .
will make him more powerful, but unfortunately, it doesn't work because newspapers .
exploit his relationship with Susan Alexander, who becomes his second wife.
Kane wants power in everything. He wants people to do things his way or it's no .

sing, but he makes her do it anyways thinking that it will make her happy. She always .
complains, but he doesn't want to hear it. She says in the movie that he never gives her .
