Relationships in Citizen Kane Kane’s Parents * The relationships between Charles foster Kane and the characters in the film are based on the relationship Kane shared with his parents * Jim and Mary Kane forfeit their son to Walter Thatcher, a wealthy banker, when the family suddenly comes into wealth. * Kane’s mother appears distant and emotionless towards her son and although we assume she sends her son away to ensure he is raised appropriately * From what we see of Jim Kane, we can tell that he is an alcoholic and has violent tendencies towards his son. Perhaps Charles is sent away in order to protect both himself and his wealth from his irresponsible father. * Kane's mother sends him away when he is only eight years old, and this abrupt separation keeps him from growing past the petulant, needy, aggressive behaviors of a pre-adolescent. * As an adult, Kane has a great deal of wealth and power but no emotional security, and this absence of security arrests his development and fuels his resentment of authority.
