Characteristics of Anne Frank

Anne was born on June 12, 1929, in Frankfurt, Germany. She was four years old when her father moved to Holland to find a better place for the family to live. She was very intelligent and perceptive and wanted to become a writer. Anne was a good reader. Though in hiding she kept reading something or the other every day to continue her studies. She translated chapters, wrote down the vocabulary words and used to work hard on maths problems though she didn't like maths.
Like any other child, she loved her parents but later grew a dislike towards her mother as she used to compare her to Margot, her elder sister whom she felt jealous of. She always had a feeling that her father loved her more than her mother. Anne was an optimistic girl who learnt a lot from her sufferings. She always believed that a time would come when all their problems would be over and they would lead a happy and tension free life after the end of the war.
Anne had many friends but not a single in whom she could confide in. Thus, she made Kitty, her diary, her friend and gave way to all her feelings in it. Anne died of typhus in the concentration camp at Bergen-Belsen in late February or early March of 1945. Throughout her confinement in the annexe, she wrestled with her inner self. As she matured, she longed for intimacy with a counterpart. Then she became infatuated with Peter.
