In the Diary of Anne Frank act 2, the characters start to show their true colors. For example in scene 3 act 2, Mr. Van Daan was caught stealing food which shows him as a greedy and selfish person. Anne and Peter find out they might have feelings for each other as they both mature and grow together in the Secret Annex. Mr. and Mrs. Van Daan get more and more obnoxious throughout Act 2 by causing issues throughout the Annex. In scene 4 everybody in the Secret annex is getting nervous because the phone kept ringing and everybody was wary of it, they thought they had finally gotten caught. This was one of the most important parts of act 2 because it shows how careful the Jewish community had to be. They couldn't even pick up a phone without taking a chance on being taken away.
