-there are fan theories that cite the trolls as being the only actual evil characters. The theory is that they are so insistent on Anna marrying Kristoff that when they find out that she is engaged- they fix it by brainwashing Hans. They deny everyone agency. Probably not true, but interesting.

-Elsa had no idea that she had sent her kingdom into eternal winter until Anna showed up and told her. She was in the mountains and figured that life in Arendale would be better and safer without her. She didn’t know she’d accidentally cursed the land. Possibly she felt that as monarch she had a duty to remove the greatest threat to her kingdom- herself. She was probably just running away, but she might not have been as irresponsible as she seemed. Might. Eh.

-for some reason, in my experience, little boys have developed a love of Elsa. They get into arguments over who gets to be Elsa when playing Superhero pretend games and pick out shoes and other merchandise featuring the queen for themselves. I don’t know what meaning that could have, but it’s interesting.

All in all, I quite liked your post. :) you raised some very good questions. I had some small differences of opinion on some matters, but your arguments were well reasoned and researched which is rather refreshing.
