Describe the relationship between Anne and Peter. Think about the way the characters interact through dialogue as well as the information you get from stage directions.

Answer:

At the beginning of the play, Anne and Peter have a cautious and slightly awkward relationship. Anne is outgoing, talkative, and friendly, often trying to engage a reluctant Peter in conversation. In contrast, Peter is shy, quiet, and easily embarrassed, as seen in the stage directions where he often retreats or reacts awkwardly to Anne's energy. Because they are still getting to know each other under the stress of hiding, their interactions show a mix of curiosity and social discomfort.
