What do you think this play reveals about our need for freedom? About the power of love? About courage and hope? About good and evil? In your answers, consider how the play’s themes relate to the themes of another work, such as The Taming of the Shrew.

I think that The Diary of Anne Frank shows that we all need freedom in some way, and we all have it in our minds "Mr.Frank:But always remember this, Anneke. There are no walls, there are no bolts, no locks that anyone can put on your mind.” but many peeople still want freedom to control themselves and their lives and feel caged without it. I think that this play shows that the only way to survive any events as tragic as the Holocaust you must be very courageous, and keep love and hope in your heart always, otherwise you will be crushed in sorrow and despair. I think that the play reveals that those showing love, Miep and Mr.Kraler, are good, and those who show hatred and prejudice are evil. I think that when you show love you are showing that you are ready to assist those in need but when you are evil and show hatred you are ready to hurt those who are in need.
