The diary of a young Girl Important Characters
Anne Frank
Anne Frank, as a thirteen year old girl, received a diary which would change the way the world looked at the lives of Jewish people during World War II. She had to endure the limitations put upon her and other Jews during the Nazi occupation of Holland. These limitations included among other things wearing a yellow star, to mark them as Jews, not being allowed to attend the schools of their choice, and being told who to associate with. She and her family were forced into hiding the same year she turned thirteen. She is courageous in living in the "Secret Annex" with the threat of exposure constantly hanging over her and the others in hiding. She is also a normal teenage girl, who at turns feels sorry for herself, is a little too free with her opinions, and has a crush on Peter, the son of the Van Daan's which is the other family in hiding with them. Anne, like most teenage girls, also has difficulty getting along with her mother. She feels that her mother does not understand her nor does her mother really love her.
Mr. Frank
Mr. Frank is a man who will do anything to keep his family safe. He moved them from Germany to Holland after he realized the effect the Nazi party would have on the Jews of Germany. He had hoped to spare them the suffering of living under Nazi rule, but unfortunately the Nazis occupied Holland after the Franks moved there.
Mrs. Frank
Mrs. Frank does not bear the forced seclusion well. She leaves the unpacking to Anne and Mr. Frank because she cannot cope with being in the "Secret Annex". While she wants to show love to Anne, she has a hard time doing so. Instead of encouraging Anne, she is always quick to criticize her. That being said, if someone else criticizes Anne, she is always willing to come to her daughter's defense. Mrs. Frank does show love and understanding towards Margot, Anne's sister.
Margot
Margot is Anne's older sister, she is about three years older than Anne. In Anne's estimation Margot is about as perfect as a person can be. This causes some friction between the sisters, but in general they get along very well. Margot is the more intelligent, better mannered and more obedient of the two sisters. She also feels left out as Anne and Peter become closer friends. Margot also longs for someone to confide in, but does not have that person in the "Secret Annex". She does talk to her mother more than Anne does because she is able to be more amiable than Anne.
Peter
Peter is the sixteen year old son of the Van Daan's. At first when the family joins the Franks in the "Secret Annex", Peter seems lazy and reticent to talk to anyone. He is a loner who likes to escape work as much as possible. Later as the diary progresses, Anne realizes he has an inferiority complex which is why he acts so aloof. Anne seeks him out and pushes him into a friendship with her. She decides that because he is so quiet he would be the perfect person to confide her innermost feelings to. Peter, for his part, is grateful for the companionship.
Mrs. Van Daan
Mrs. Van Daan is a spoiled woman who expects everyone to behave as she does. What she does not realize is that her behavior is not exemplary. She especially does not like Anne due to Anne being a very outspoken person. Mrs. Van Daan feels that children should not express their opinions on any subject, because they do not have the experiences to draw upon that adults do. This puts her in direct conflict with Anne and her parents. Mrs. Van Daan also does not get along at all with Mrs. Frank. Their problems started after the Van Daan's moved into the "Secret Annex" and Mrs. Van Daan began hiding some of her things.
Mr. Van Daan
Mr. Van Daan is very helpful to the Frank's after they go into hiding. He tells the man who rents rooms from the Franks that they have gone to Switzerland.
Mr. Dussel
He is a dentist whose wife is in America. He was recommended to the group by Miep. Miep is a young woman who worked for Mr. Frank and now is among the group of people who help those in hiding survive. Mr. Dussel at first seems to be very easy going and friendly. The families feel that he will fit in well with them. Anne has to share her room with him and this is how the problems with him start for her. He takes it upon himself to correct every flaw he sees in her personality. He is also a rather selfish man who dominates the room and bathroom. He also feels that his needs in the room outweigh Anne's needs because she is, after all, only a child. Mr. Dussel was not a very good roommate because he was rude and selfish.
