When Mr. Van Daan stole food in the play, audiences have sudden feelings towards him and form characteristics about him. The text makes people believe that Mr. Van Daan is a greedy, unthoughtful, and selfish person, based on one brief event talked about in the play. Since of the insert of Mr. Van Daan stealing, readers look down on him, but since this account is not in the actual diary, I would not have formulated such a judgment. I might have thought he was greedy or selfish from the diary as a result of other actions, but because of reading the play, I now look at him differently.
It is a little bit unfair that they include that part or even just changing anything from the real diary to the play, since it differs the opinion of the readers.
