At the Seder every person should feel as if he or she were going out of Egypt. We begin with the story of our patriarchs Abraham Isaac and Jacob and recount the Jewish people's descent into Egypt recalling their suffering and persecution. We are with them as G-d sends the ten plagues to punish Pharaoh and his nation and follow along as they leave Egypt and cross the Red Sea. We witness the miraculous hand of G-d as the waters part allowing the Israelites to pass.
