His ambitions are portrayed as reckless. Mr. Kane seems ambitious beyond his ability. Next Mr. Thomspon visits Mr. Bernstein asking about rosebud's meaning. Mr. Bernstein discusses Charlies lifestyle within the inquirer as a employee of his. Mr. Kane is an energetic, charismatic, opinionated character.
