Anne saw her father, Otto Frank, as a kindred spirit. She modeled herself after her father, and there's no one in the world she loved more. He didn’t realize that he treated Margot differently than he did her: Margot just happened to be the smartest, the kindest, the prettiest and the best. But Anne had a right to be taken seriously too. She longed for something from her father that he was incapable of giving. It's just that she wanted to feel that her father really loved her, not because she was his child, but because she was she, Anne.
