Ninguém a seu redor importa-se com Kane, que busca por meio da aquisição de bens a adoração das pessoas. Ao final, Thompson, após a exaustiva investigação da vida de Kane através de entrevistas, se vê incapaz de descobrir o significado da palavra, concluindo que "Charles Foster Kane foi um homem que possuiu tudo o que quis e depois perdeu tudo.
