Discuss briefly the character of Peter Van daan
Answers
Peter Van Daan was a shy.awkward and a quiet boy.He was 16yrs old.He was sensitive,thoughtful,sensible and was very different from his loud parents.Reticent and reclusive,he was unlike the other boys and Anne initially misjudged him for being hypersensitive and lazy.He used to be sad and difficult because he had no friend and could not reach out to anyone,especially his loud parents.Peter turned out to be peace-loving,tolerant and extremely easygoing.He began to trust Anne and made a determined effort to express his innermost self also drawing out Anne in the process.He was much more closed than Anne was and took time to open up as Anne says is characteristic of uncommon types.His worried years were spent in the annex,bringing him close to Anne out of a sense of togetherness and companionship due to the isolation and loneliness that they both felt.Peter had a solid and calming influence on Anne, their relationship wasn't romantic but forged out of a necessity to find a kindered spirit in such trying times.
