Chapter Ten: Frozen
The princess in Frozen is a somewhat naive girl named Anna. Anna sounds like a pretty generic name to me. She naively falls for somebody she just met, I do not remember that deal holes name so I am going to call him Prince Deal Hole for the rest of this installment. I want to call him something else, but this is not rated M. He asks her to marry him and she naively accepts, not even thinking that he may have an alternate motive. I can get why she said yes, seeing how she was deprived of having somebody to talk to but this is not the correct way to find somebody to not be lonely with. She could have made some friends from town and visited them. That is much better than being lonely or used. When she gives the news to her sister, the queen, he sister says "no" and gives a pretty good reason why.
This reason is also radical or the time as not knowing him, never stopped females from all social classes from being forced into a marriage. At the same time, it could be realistic as the person who told Anna "no" is the ruler of the country and can change the laws to allow marriage to be of love and not something your parents are forcing you to do for money and to get rid of a child that they might have wished was a male. In other words, she could have made selling your child to the highest bidder and having them marry the bidder illegal. The payment was called a dowrie. Yes, that is how it is spelled. It was basically the groom paying the father of the bride a large sum of money to marry the bride. The father is basically selling the bride like property and the groom is buying the bride like property. This was not uncommon since females were viewed as property that were inherently evil and needed to be abused into their place. This is not to say that there were not any decent men out there who treated the female he bought well but the main mentality was female hating, brought to you by the bible, the church, and the holy Roman Empire. You know, that thing that everybody thinks is innocent and good to all.
So anyway the queen loses it, and runs away while freezing the whole country. Yep, she is that powerful in the art of creating a frozen wonderland. Anna goes after her sister to tell her that she still loves her, she is sorry, and to bring her back home. Meanwhile, the queen is making her own palace in order to isolate herself and protect Anna from herself because she loves Anna that much.
Anna loses her horse and stops by a store to get warmer cloths when a really big guy covered from head to toe with snow walks in, has an argument about how much a rope, a pick, and a bunch of carrots should cost and gets kicked out of the store. His pet deer cannot get the carrots it wants and they stay in the shed nearby. Anna buys her warmer cloths and his thing. His things are just to get him to take her to her sister. See what I mean by only somewhat naïve. She is bribed into helping her and they go on a crazy ride with wolves chasing them on his sled.
They lose sled and he debates on rather or not to help her or not, them his deer gives him a few looks and that somehow convinces him to help her. They eventually find the castle after running into a walking talking snowman and she decides to go into the palace along. She complements her sister on the handy work and them tries to convince her to come home, even to go as far as to be excepting of her sisters ability. Her sister says no, it is the only way to protect her and she does not take the hint and refuses to be protected if it means losing her sister. Anna's sister loses control over her powers and accidently freezes Anna's heart. The big guy them comes in to check on her and the queen tells them to leave and when Anna refuses to go, she creates a big snow man just to chase them out of the castle. Anna decides to anger this otherwise peaceful giant by throwing a snowball at it. The snowman chases them to a cliff and they jump off of it All the while, Anna is starting to turn into ice.
The cliff just conveniently happens to be near the big guys adopted troll family and they try to get Anna and the big guy married off. This nearly works until she nearly passes out and the elder troll tells them that she needs and act of true love to save her. The big guy never said that he did not love her and he sort of shows it by giving up his chances with her to save her life. Sometimes loving somebody means that you have to give up that somebody. They go to the castle and sends her to Prince Deal Hole to be kissed and saved but he reveals that he never loved her, he was just using her to get close to the queen and eventually planed on having them both killed. He leaves her there to die and orders the queens execution under false pretenses. The queen escapes the castle dungeon and is running away again. Anna has gotten out of the locked room do to a living snowman and is looking for Kristoth (or however it is spelled) who was the big man from earlier. This is literally the point in the movie where I caught his name. He is running to her when she sees her sister about to be killed by Prince Deal Hole and saves her by stopping the blade and turning into an ice statue at the same time. Her sister is gravely upset by this and cries and morns from her death. The crying makes the heart and the body melts. Anna is alive again. The queen figures out how to melt everything and almost everything is good. Anna gets to punch Prince Deal Hole in the face, though Kristoth wanted to do it himself.
Kristoth gets a new sled and possibly a princess as a girlfriend. The queen stops hiding and uses her talent for good things. Prince Deal Hole gets sent back to his country. They all live a happy life until the next problem comes up.
The thing is that almost this entire story is unrealistic. I say almost because only family and somebody really special who will love you for you, matter what, can accept all the things that might be considered bad in society that you have or do. Another reason is that the queen and Kristoth were being realistic when they almost blew up on Anna when she told them about an engagement to Prince Deal Hole she had just met that day. The last and final reason is Prince Deal Hole's fishy behavior. This is very typical of how a real life villain would act. Charming to get you in their web then they stab you in the back when you are at your weakest. It is not blatantly open villain but it should fall under the umbrella of devious, plotting, intelligent villain. You know, the ones you would least suspects would be a villain and everybody blindly believes to be the hero because of the careful planning. One can argue that Gaston from beauty and the beast tried this, but I think he did it wrong and plus Gaston is not really smart enough to almost pull it off as well as he is not just a plain out Deal Hole.
When I first saw Prince Deal Hole, I did not think much of him until the song "love is an open door". After that song, I thought 'hum… that is fishy, nobody in their right minds ask for marriage on the first day of meeting without an alternate motive. Let's look at the facts, he is 13th in line, he is at a queen's coronation, and he is asking to marry a princess he barely knows.' When they do not go into his villain plot until the end, it is an attempt to not talk down to its viewers.
There is not villain in the queen as she just wants to protect her sister. She loves her sister that much. What loving older sister has not tried to secretly protect younger siblings and what younger siblings have not openly tried to protect their older ones? It sound paralleled to my relationship with my older sister, only take out the ice powers and put in sexually abusive stepfather and her efforts not working. But enough about my childhood, Let go into adding more realism to this story.
Realistically, the princess would have probably been on her own after the sled as he would have called her crazy and left with his deer. Kristoth would have never been talking to his deer. An ice wall would have been an optimal choice for protecting a palace seeing how a really high dangerous mounting never stopped them from invading. The snow man would have never come to life no matter how much the queen had control over ice. If Kristoth had realistically stayed, it would be because he would have had a genuine interest in Anna. I do not think that bribing a guy with just what he was trying to buy in the store would work to make him help you; does anybody else think that something extra would have had to be added? I am pretty sure that they would have found another reason to kill the queen, maybe the reason why many females where being killed back them, it is a little something call witch craft and people were burned at the stake for it, though technically what the queen does in closer to what the X-men do. They did not have to wait until Anna was turning into a statue by those terms, they could have just burned her for being born the way she is. Humanity is no stranger to killing what they do not know. The guy they are trading with even portrays the mentality of killing off what is unknown. I do not know what the trolls would have really done to Kristoth. I do not know why nobody was suspecting the prince considering he had motives for killing off that countries royal family. Why the hell is he even there? His older brothers are not good enough to do the whole we are representing such and such country, one would think that they would realistically send somebody closer in line to the thrown but they send the brother who might have the most motive to use and kill the royal family of the country he is visiting. The oldest is going to be king, the second oldest is going to be duke, and if the others are lucky, they would be dukes too, but Prince Deal Hole here will probably get nothing no matter what he does because wealth can only be split so far. We all got to give him points for having ambition though, without that nobody would get anywhere. I know if I was not ambitious, I would have never started going to college for accounting and just sent my writing work that was not fan fiction to a publisher, instead of presuming two careers at the same time. Enough about me and my past, it is not like anybody cares as long as they get a good installment to read.
I am not going into the original because, I did know what the original in tells. If I do not know it or the Disney interpretation is close to the original, I am not going to recount it.
Next: Brave. This might take a while; I have to actually watch the movie. Pure Creativity, I will think on the logical way of looking at villain's idea.
