Answer: In Act I of The Diary of Anne Frank, the reader learns that the overarching emotion in the secret annex is fear. One of the characters that show and manage fear very differently is Anne's sister, Margot. Margot is the complete opposite of Anne, she is quiet, reserved, and cautious. Margot is always trying to stay out of the way, and she tries to avoid conflicts. In contrast, Anne is restless, impulsive, and curious; she embraces the challenges of their situation. For example, Margot is scared when they hear the thief on the staircase, but Anne is fascinated by the idea of a burglar breaking in. This shows that Margot is fearful and tries to avoid danger, while Anne is more curious and embraces her fears.
