Essays / The Diary of Anne Frank Dramatic License Info [3]
By the word choice it sounds too me that Ellen Feldman means to say that the attitude of the writing in the diary has changes. By extension this would be the attitude of the author, or Anne Frank. This could also be the tone of the diary and the message that it sends. You should consider how the changes made in the play affect the message and the story. Are some characters portrayed differently? Are the essential messages the same? How does your vision of Anne and her story change between reading the book and reading or viewing the play?Consider why the authors of the play decided to make certain changes despite the fact that they are portraying a real story. Did the authors of the play tamper with history? In the diary, the voice is of Anne, but in the play the authors and directors will inevitably bring their own voices.
