Drama Blog #4: c. Dramatic Irony

WHat do we know as we read Anne's diary that Anne
does not know? How does the dramatic irony make
you feel?

In the play, Anne cannot get out of the annex, so she doesn't
have any information from the outside. We can know what is
happening during that time in Germany, such as the Nazis
forcing the Jews into the death camp later on. Anne probably
didn't know how dangerous it was but as readers, we know
this and it makes us think that Anne is pitiful. She was wanting
to publish her diary in the future, but she died and she doesn't
know whether her dream became true. Today, she is quite
admired by people who want to know about the Holocaust

Well, she did have some information. Miep and Mr Kraler would inform them but yeah, they, or rather she, wouldn't get the full details of the horror and the danger. Although she does keep a lively, cheery attitude, i think that she does know the dangerous situation that she is in. She probably doesn't know about the death camps though. I read this drama and at the end, when the nazi find her, it seemed as if she was prepared for death and she wasn't really hoping to be famous by her diary anyway (although anyone secretly might). We probably only pity Anne for the fact that she died in a concentration camp instead of seeing liberty, which came only one month later or something. But besides this, i think the post was .... satisfactory.

I agree with the evidence of dramatic irony in the play. It's sad that the Nazis didn't let Anne to publish her diary. Her diary was a big part of her life. This also shows that the Nazis were cruel and indifferent to Jewish people. Anyway, this was a good example of dramatic irony.
