When Miep brings the cake, Mr. Dussel requests that Mrs. Frank, not Mrs. Van Daan, cut the pieces. When Peter talks about missing his cat, Mr. Dussel says that someone outside probably

he is amazed that anyone in times like these would worry about a fur coat. What do these
examples say about Mr. Dussel’s character?
