Whatdo you think the play's theme(s) is/are?

Well, I think that the play's theme is based upon prejudice. Prejudice effects this play becuase Anne and her family are forced to go into hiding because of the dicrimination that they recieved from the Germans. Her family is living a secret life and comparing this to others, many people were under the same situation. Not only were they forced into hiding, but they also lived in fear of being caught one day. So.... from my perspective, the theme of this play is prejudice because this is a theme that keeps on reoccuring throughout the play and is the reason of this whole play.

I really agree with you. Prejudice made others go into hiding and many more die. Anne and others really went through hardships that we probably will never face before. I heard that Eisenhower vomited because he saw the people and living conditions in the concentration/death camps. Since prejudice put those people there, i think that the theme should be about theme. I think that prejudice still makes people suffer such as looking down on girls, different race, or different age.
I liked how you stated you theme and showed an example. Nice job~~
