Compare And Contrast Diary Of Anne Frank

The play, Diary of Anne Frank, and the movie, Anne Frank, both depict the true story of a young jewish girl in hiding during the Holocaust. The movie, does a better job of showing her character traits as well as other people’s character traits than the play does. In the movie Anne is in class and cannot see so she gets up and says “I'm afraid that however interesting your lesson is, I cannot see it”. This shows she isn’t intimidated easily and can stand up for herself. But, in the play, she doesn’t have moment like that, where she stands up for herself. The play does not do a sterling job at understanding the characters, whereas the movie does an excellent job of connecting the viewer and the
character.
