Which of the following does not support the notion that Kane was of Noble Stature?

We see that Kane was born into poverty and a fractured family, where the cloud of hostility and abuse looms over the family.

We see Kane as an innocent, happy child joyfully playing in the yard of his parents' boarding home.

We see an idealistic Kane taking over the Inquierer newspaper and dedicating himself a series of principles as a champion of human rights.

We see Kane grow up with all the possibility and opportunity that his high class and wealth afford.

Which of the following statements could be an accurate feminist critique?

Welles does build a female character with agency in Susan, a woman who specifically breaks away from Kane's control and takes control of her own destiny.

Kane's immense wealth seperated him from the common people, including his own family and childhood.

More than Hearst's, Orson Welles's own childhood runs parrellel to Kane's: he was torn from his parents at a young age and thrust into the unfeeling care of boarding schools by a distant benefactor.

Kane, as a result of his loving relationship with his mother, treats women with respect, acting to support their needs and desires in a positive way.

Which of the following statements could be an accurate biographical critique?

More than Hearst's, Orson Welles's own childhood runs parrellel to Kane's: he was torn from his parents at a young age and thrust into the unfeeling care of boarding schools by a distant benefactor.

Kane stands in for Welles himself, being a figure who constantly and consistenly achieved success throughout his whole life.

The film's openning uses a dramatic application of shadow and light, setting a sense of tone horror and silence that permeates through the rest of the film.

The film captures the major details of Hearst's life, ironically making Hearst a sympathetic character.

Which of the following statements could be an accurate reader-response critique?

Kane's journey becomes relatable and we connect to him, seeing ourselves in the sad, old man; just as Kane struggles his entire life to find love and acceptance, we as individuals also struggle to find acceptance.

While subtle, the film hints at the anti-semitism that would have existed in the era, especially within the elistist high society; Emily Kane expresses a partiular disdain for Bernstein, which elicts a certain disgust from the more liberal Charles Kane.

The film uses its bright and cheery tone to highlight the joy the runs through Kane's life, from the joys of his childhood to his death surrounded by those who loved him.

Kane shows a entirely fictional account of power in the early 1900s; of course, nobody could actually do as much as Kane does, but he reflects the desires of a time-period more than any individual.
