Okay so the story is set in China during the time period of the Cultural Revolution( 1966-1976). It goes on to talk about a 100 million people being persecuted, half a million being killed. But mainly the story focuses on the rather unlikely couple. The women being tall and the man short. Never finding out their names but just as what their described as. That itself is symbolic. Never seen as individuals, they are judged on appearances. Living in a gated community called the unity mansions, is portrayed as ironic. Because the community is unified in aspects of gossiping, be cruel to the couple. In the end the couple remain a strong front and the story itself is a great example of facing hardship.

Answer with Explanation:

The audience sees Mr. Frank looking weak. This gives insight on the audience about his age, as it has been narrated, "He is gentle, cultured European in his middle years." The audience also sees a cluttered and dusty place, which seems like it was meant to be abandoned, as it has been narrated, "The rooms are dusty, the curtains in rags; Chairs and tables are overturned." Chairs and tables are normally overturned when nobody is using them. The audience also see Mr. Frank carrying a "rucksack," which means he is going somewhere as it has been narrated ,"As he starts back for his rucksack..." His moving restlessly shows that he is sad. It is even reinforced when he broke down and cried when he saw a woman's white glove as it has been narrated ,"He breaks down, crying." There must be something special about the white gloves that made him cry. The audience also sees Miep and this gives them a clue that she's young as it has been narrated that "She is pregnant" and she's seen to have a big belly.
