7. 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?

I think that this play reveals that our need for freedom is crucial to our lives and that without it, we sort of lose our identities to others and sometimes even to ourselves. Anne and her family and people she lived with constantly struggle with the need for freedom throughout the play and that is evident in the tension and conflicts that arose between them over time. The play reveals that with love, almost anything is possible. It does this by showing that without Mr. Kraler and Miep's help and love towards Anne and the others, they would have been living under harsh conditions for such long times or even been killed. But because Mr. Kraler and Miep had courage to stand up for what they believed in, they provided hope for the few families that they could and made a difference in the lives of others. The play shows that nothing good comes out of evil and wrong-doing towards other people because Hitler and the other discriminators's actions were full of evil and those people are now remembered with bitter thoughts and hatred. But the play also shows that peace and love come out of good towards others in that when Mr. Kraler and Miep helped the Franks, Van Daans, and the others, they were giving love to them and good things came out of it in the end for them because they are now remembered with warm hearts and heroic thoughts. The megatheme of prejudice in this story relates to a large theme of prejudice in the book "Lost Names". In this story, Jews and other people groups such as those are being persecuted by the Germans who have prejudice against them. And in "Lost Names", the Koreans are being persecuted by the Japanese, who have prejudice against them. The main characters from both of the stories both struggle with the prejudice against them and also struggle to find their identities as a result of being persecuted and made to conform with the persecuting group of people.
