In one scene of the film, Susan Alexander tells Kane, "I don't know many people," and his response, "I know too many people. I guess we're both alone" describes undoubtedly his detachment towards others. The film repeatedly portrays Kane as an outsider in various situations in his home, work and social life. Although Kane is abandoned by numerous people throughout the film, the abandonment of his mother and his wife Susan affects him badly. He is devastated by the loss of Susan and memories of his simple and peaceful childhood drive him to seek further solitude. Towards the end of the film, his wealth is insignificant and he is attached only to the snowball he found in the room Susan's bedroom after her departure, symbolizing her lost youthful innocence, and in Rosebud, the name written on her childhood sleigh Kane loses his business, friends, love, and more because of his selfishness and his greed. Although Kane becomes the richest man in the world and the most influential man in New York City, he dies lonely and depressed, with no one to hear his last words, "Rosebud", except his butler, who considers them nonsense. The last scene, the burning of Kane's Rosebud sleigh, symbolizes a complete loss of happiness that has led to Kane's isolation.
