Theme

I think that the play's theme was freedom.  We take freedom for granted, and obviously think that it is not a right to be free.  

Anne Frank: She wishes to go out and live life once again.  I think that all she truly wants to do is to go outside and to visit her friends and walk in the park.  She has realized that she took most of the things for granted.  She feels so locked up in the annex, and with everybody always against her, she longs to go to a place where she can be alone and let steam off.  

Margot Frank: She wants to go out and find someone to talk to.  She wants a companion like Anne and Peter.  

Mrs. and Mr. Frank: They just want everybody to get along as they used to?.. 

Mr. and Mrs. Van Daan: Her fur coat, she keeps it safe until the day she can wear it out again.  Mr. Van Daan really as well wants to return to normal.  He wants to be able to eat well again.  

Peter Van Daan: He wants to let off his steam, and be able to let off steam normally;; such as his parents bickering, he wants to deal with it in a normal way, not just shutting himself in a room. 

Mr. Dussel: Wants to just get out of the house
