Act I, Scenes 4, 5: How do the events following Anne’s nightmare reveal tensions between Anne and two other members of the household?
After Anne's nightmare the coversation that Mr.Dussel has with Mr.Van Daan where he says that he wishes that she had died shows that there is tension between them and that Mr.Dussel doesn't care for Anne like he would someone else.
Anne also has a lot of tension with her mother, this is shown when she rejects her mother's care and turns to her father instead. Her mother then reveals that this has been going on for a long time and she thinks that Anne is shutting her out of her life. Anne argues with her mother a lot in the play and she tells her to go away when really she needs her help.
