Describe the relationship between Anne and Margot.
Answers
Anne Frank was only 13 and her sisterMargot was 16 when they went into hiding during the Holocaust. During their two years in hiding, both Anne and Margot learned a lot about each other, their differences, similarities and how to be close during a time of so much fear.
Answer:
Anne and Margot shared a normal relationship
of sisters with slight ups and downs. Margot was
a stark contrast to Anne. She did not speak much
while Anne was very outspoken.
Margot was reserved in nature. She was smarter,
quieter, prettier and more mature than Anne. She
was attached to her mother whereas Anne had
bitter feelings for her mother. Anne found her
mother quite irritating and felt jealous of Margot
as she felt that her mother loved Margot more
than her.
Margot was Anne’s well wisher. She saw Anne as
a friend to talk to and confide in. She was docile
and not assertive like Anne. She even trusted and
encouraged Anne’s relationship with Peter. Both
the sisters had a very good relationship with their
father. They were also kind loving to each other
as sisters. Margot and Anne exchanged a series of
letters that Anne recorded in her diary. The topic
of discussion was their shared affection for Peter.
There was a very real possibility that feelings
of jealousy could spring up between the sisters.
Even worse, they could end up in a rivalry for
Peter’s attention. UInder normal circumstances,
they would probably have talked things out, but
in the close quarters of the annex, it would not
have been possible to do so with the necessary
privacy.
