What is the theme of book The Diary of the Young Girl?
One of the themes of Anne Frank's diary is the loneliness and isolation of adolescence. Being a young adult can be hard at times, but it's harder still if you're forced to live in such a tense, claustrophobic environment like Anne. Anne is growing up very quickly, but there is really no one around with whom she can share her experiences. She's not particularly close to Margot; her relationship with her mother is fraught, to say the least; she completely adores her father, but there are certain things that she can't really share with him. So she remains alone. And her feelings of loneliness and isolation are compounded by the fact that no one truly understands her. Anne is very mature for her age, full of complex thoughts and feelings and it's so incredibly frustrating for her not to be able to share them with others. Peter van Daan briefly fills the role of confidant, but ultimately his intellectual inferiority and relative lack of maturity count against him.
