Final answer:

The question seems to mix characters from Ibsen's 'A Doll's House' with Zusak's 'The Book Thief.' Without context from 'The Book Thief,' we can only speculate that Harshness and Liesel's crying could be due to complex emotions or situations involving the character Max.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dialogue excerpts provided seem to be from Henrik Ibsen's play A Doll's House. The student's question, however, refers to characters Hans and Liesel, which suggests a mix-up as these characters are from Markus Zusak's novel The Book Thief. Therefore, without specific context from The Book Thief, it's challenging to accurately address why Hans is harsh with Liesel about Max or why she is crying. However, in a general sense, harshness from a parental figure in literature could stem from fear, a desire to protect, or frustration. Liesel could be crying due to a myriad of reasons: fear, sadness, or a response to Hans's tone. Context from The Book Thief is needed to give a precise explanation.
