A Film auteur or author, who is usually a director, will often display a clearly distinctive style through their respective body of works, with their films often being easily recognisable as a reflection of the director, or showing some sort of personal elements.

The inclusion of various non-traditional elements and a presentational set design in order to convey this “whirlwind,” successfully captured the attention of the audience and held it there. One of the most essential elements of the play’s success in delivering the concept was the design of the set. The simplistic, glowing white design of the set allowed for minimal distractions and centered the focus on the whirlwind of events taking place on stage.

By seeing different opinions of Kane through the eyes of others, the audience is able to better understand Kane’s motivation and drive. Also, Kane’s last word “Rosebud”, the centerpiece of the story, suggests Charles Kane lived an unfulfilling life, never fully developing a relationship with emotion.
