Question

relation between Anne and Peter in Annexe

Answer 1

Relationship between Anne and Peter Van daan



The relationship between Anne and Peter does not begin as an adolescent romance, though it certainly develops into one as Anne continues to write in her diary over the year and half or so that they are together in the annex.

At the beginning, Anne is not impressed with Peter who presents as a shy, lonely young boy. She observes in him a sort of laziness and passivity that she does not respect or understand. Anne is certainly a sensitive and creative young girl, as her writing shows, and she can't see why he is content to be so boring. At this early point in their relationship, they don't really have much of a connection except for the awful circumstances that have brought them together in the first place.
