7) What do you think this play reveals about our need for freedom? About the power of love? About good and evil?

I think that this play reveals that our need for freedom is very desperate. Without freedom, we are lost and it causes us to lose hope in ourselves and we also lose our identity from it. If we are not allowed to do things, things that we like, then we are not able to express ourselves very well. But in the play, Anne is not allowed to certain things that she longs for because of the holocuast so she expresses herself through her diary and this keeps her together. This play reveals that with love, you can overcome things and with this love, you can do anything. The love that is shown in the play are from Mr. Kraler and Miep. They show their love by protecting the Franks, Mr. Dussell, and the Van Daans and support them throughout the Holocaust. Knowing the consequences and danger that is ahead of them, they believed in themselves and had the courage to stand up and help the families hiding in the Secret Annex. The play shows that nothing good comes out of the evil. Hitler and the Natzi's were evil to discriminate people like that and now they are just people that have hatred towards them. But the play also shows that love comes out of the good. For example, again the love that Mr. Kraler and Miep has given to the families that they helped survive. In the end, they were considered heroes to the families and the outcome of their hardwork was good. It was like getting a reward. The theme of this play (Prejudice) relates to the same theme of a book called, "The Red Scaf Girl." There is a revolution in China where people are being discrimanated because of their family background and the class status that they were in. They were being persecuated just like the Jews were. And the main character is like Anne in many ways. She is basically under the same situation as Anne was and this brings to conclusion that prejudice is occuring all around the world.
