Character Role Analysis

Anne Frank-Margot Frank

These two sisters, who couldn't be more alike, are consistently compared. While Anne is wild and crazy, Margot is reserved and demure. Anne is jealous of her sister because she's always being compared to her. Be more like Margot, everyone says. But Margot's got a little bit of angst going on as well. She recognizes the crazy creativity of her sister and loves her beautiful mind. She even comes to Anne's defense a few times and helps their mother understand a few things from Anne's point of view.
