Act 1-Scene 1
Act 1-Scene Three:
When Mr. Frank is in the room with Anne, she becomes anxious about the way she is acting and starts worrying about her actions toward her mother. “...I was horrible, wasn’t I? And the worst of it is, I can stand off and look at myself doing it and know it’s cruel and yet I can’t stop doing it…” Here the scene shows Anne’s lack of tolerance for herself in the nights when she thinks about all of the things she did and Mr. Frank’s tolerance of her being upset with herself. Anne is trying so hard to convince her father that she is truly a good person that she can’t help but dwell on the fact that she is mean and nice, and that she is becoming really mean. Mr. Frank tries to console her, and remains with her as she prattles on about herself and of all the things about her that she is trying to fix. (pages 818-819)
When Mr. Van Daan is caught stealing food, Mrs. Frank shows the most intolerance. When Mr. Van Daan says that he is hungry as an excuse Mrs. Frank yells, “We’re all of us hungry! I see the children getting thinner and thinner. You own son peter...I’ve heard him moan in his sleep, he’s so hungry. And you come in the night and steal that should go to them...to the children!” This quote shows the intolerance that Mrs. Frank has to Mr. Van Daan’s selfishness. This also shows the lack of tolerance of someone doing anything to hurt the children, especially when someone hurts their own children.
(pages 855-859)
Near the end of scene four, the “family” of eight hear the banging on the door, they think there is safety now that they have been found. After they realize it is the Nazi’s pounding on the door and up the steps. When Anne’s voice is added to the scene she says, “And so it seems our stay here is over. They are waiting for us now. They’ve allowed us five minutes to get out things. We can take a bags and whatever it will hold of clothing. Nothing else. So, dear Diary, that means I must leave you behind. Good-bye for a while.” Her hope shows tolerance of being found by the Green Police. She still has the hope of finding the diary again when she says, “P.S. Please, please, Miep, or Mr.Kraler, or anyone else. If you should find this diary, will you please keep it safe for me, because someday I hope…” this shows the tolerance of Anne losing her most prized possession. (pages 867-868)
When Mr. Frank talks about Anne in scene five, he says, “...But Anne was happy in the camp in Holland where they first took us… she could be out… in the sunshine and the fresh air that she loved.” This scene shows how, even in captivity and with the threat of dying, Anne tolerated all her present and future horrors just because she could finally be out in the sunshine and nature that she loved so much. Nothing else mattered to her. (pages 868-869)
