Citizen Kane is such an astonishing portrait of a man. What is so interesting about this portrait is that our protagonist, the main character, who is described as larger than life in the reading, is almost villified. His behavior is reprehensible throughout the film, especially his behavior toward his wives. It is interesting how the author points out that there is no glamorous female in the film, she mentions that this may be because the cinematographer was not a "glamour" shooter. Still, by making the wives seem almost plain it makes Kane seem even still larger. No one can subvert him, no one can make him love... he is an untouchable figure.
