Peter and Anne seem to be complete and total opposites. Peter is shy, awkward and the only person in the annex he truly seems interested in talking to is his cat, Mouschi. Anne is outgoing, and energetic like a container whose lid has to be forced on. Due to their opposing personalities Peter and Anne don't get along well at all. He continues calling her Mrs. Quack Quack because she talks so much.
Peter is used to being a loner. When Peter and Anne talk for the first time in Act1 Scene 1, Peter tells Anne that he was never the type to go on dates with others, that he kept to himself. if you takes a person whose used to not having many people to talk to and introduce them to Anne they may get a bit annoyed, because she's so "out of the box."As far as similarities go, I wasn't surprised Anne and Peter actually had something in common. They both have regular conflicts with one of their parents. Anne is annoyed with her mom because she always compares her to her older sister Margot and her mom is always criticizing what she does.Anne never accepts any care from her mother. She's more like a "daddy's girl she feels more comfortable conversing with "Pim" , as she so lovingly calls her father, than anyone else in the annex.
Peter, on the other hand conflicts with his father because Peter isn't good at his school work, and that frustrates his father. Peter's father calls him dumb and stupid. Peter is ashamed of his father because he complains about the amount of food available to eat. The relationship between Peter and his mother seems to be much better. It looks like Peter has some sort of protective instinct toward his mother.
Anne is an optimist, while Peter leans more toward pessimism.
Anne is forgiving while Peter holds a grudge.
Peter and Anne both can't agree with the grown-ups of the Annex.
Peter admires Anne for her courage.
Anne is beginning to like Peter and likewise Peter toward Anne. I hope they get together somehow, in the end.
Love,
Aaleah =D
