Detailed Answer : Peter van Daan was the teenage son of the van Daans, whose real name was Peter van Pels. Anne first saw Peter as obnoxious, lazy, and hypersensitive, but later they both became close friends. Peter was a quiet, timid and honest boy who was sweet to Anne. During their time in the annexe, Anne and Peter developed a romantic attraction. He was very fond of reading books, especially if they were meant for ***** reading. Once he hid in the loft to read one such book and got so engrossed in reading that he forgot to come down for dinner. His father came up to call him and hit him hard when he found him reading the book. He was refused dinner that night. He did not like it when his parents scolded him. Sometimes he reacted also. As a result he became emotionally detached from them.
