Q5. [e]

Anne’s nightmare reveals tension between her mother and Mr. Dussel. First with her mother, Mrs. Frank, because Anne doesn’t really liker her; it shows that she doesn’t want comforted by her mother when she has the nightmare. She turns away and asks for her father. Anne shows neglect towards her mother when her mother tries to show affection. Anne asks for her father instead. Anne tells her father (pg400) “You're the only one I love. Every night I think back over all of the things I did that day that were wrong.” This makes Mrs. Frank sad that she asks herself why Anne hates her so much. In Anne’s diary she mentions a couple of times of how her mother doesn’t understand her for who she is. I think that her mother tries to understand her, yet Anne doesn’t realize that. Another person that Anne has tension with is Mr. Dussel. He complains why she had to wake up in the middle of the night just because of a nightmare. He doesn’t understand her ‘being’. It wasn’t only the time of the nightmare that he and Anne reveal tension, but as well as when she goes to meet Peter. He is annoyed at the fact that Anne keeps the room to herself, while Anne thinks that he has the room to himself for the whole day. There are a lot more tensions that are happened that is mentioned in the diary.
