| In class you learned that one of the Themes in the play is dealing with human existence. What does Anne's diary represent in terms of theme? |
|
Definition
| Diary's typically show a persons deepest emotions in an authentic way. It shows us how people act when no one is looking. Anne's diary is a witness account of the horrible things that were happening during World War II. Her diary shows the lives of Jewish people who were forced to deal with a horrible future and how they interacted with each other on a day to day basis. An example would be the wonderful Hanukkah celebration they participated in - even in dire circumstances people can come together and create joy and happiness. |
