35 POINTS PS HELP ME In Act II, Scene 3, of The Diary of Anne Frank, Mrs. Frank has awoken to discover Mr. Van Daan stealing food from the pantry. A heated argument ensues, revealing behaviors in some characters that we have not seen up to this point. Consider the following quote from this scene: “We don’t need the Nazis to destroy us. We are destroying ourselves.” In your journal, identify the speaker of this quote, discuss its meaning, and explain whether or not you agree with it. Use examples from the play to support your point of view. Your response should be about 150 words.

Answer 1

The character that said this quote was the father of Anne, Otto Frank. In his statement, I think he meant that “if we keep bickering and arguing we are going to bring ourselves to destruction”, which basically means we are the true enemies to ourselves. I do agree with this statement because Mr. Frank was very wise, and bickering only caused the people hiding in the Secret Annex to be discovered.
