Act1, Scenes 4, 5: How do the events following
Anne's nightmare reveal tensions between Anne
and two other members of the household?

When Anne had a nightmare, it was about Anne being
taken away by the Nazis and the Green Police who
found them and was taking her to the concentration camp.
She probably had this dream because she was thinking
of it and having stress on it. When Mrs. Frank came to
calm her down, she asked for her father to come, but she
kind of stopped for a while and then called him. I think
she was kind of upset because she thinks that Anne
likes father more than her, so there is a little tension
between Mr. Frank and Mrs. Frank. "Mrs. Frank (after
a second) Of course Anne dear." (pg 398) Margot saw
Mrs. Frank get a little bit upset, so she tries to comfort
her by saying "Most girls go through it... they turn to their
fathers at this age . . . they give all their love to their
fathers."(pg399). However, Mrs. Frank still wasn't satisfied,
but just wanted Anne to be okay. Fortunately, this didn't
affect the relationship of Mr. Frank and Mrs. Frank, but there
was a little tension because of Anne's nightmare.
