When we think of the word “frozen,” some negative associations come to mind.

The word can mean paralyzed, stuck, repressed.

We think of phrases like “frozen with fear.”

Frozen also takes on a positive, creative connotation.

Yes, frozenness causes fear and isolation,

but it can also foster life and express love.

“An act of true love will thaw a frozen heart."

In the story, Ice symbolizes the challenges

But Frozen shows us that it isn't the ice itself that's negative;

it's that we often choose to react to the ice

we can retreat into our crippling, anxious, self-doubting thoughts

Or, we can face adversity with compassion and trust in ourselves.

[Singing] “Here I stand, in the light of day!”

So while “frozen,” at the beginning of the movie

might mean freezing up and feeling “paralyzed,”

At the end, Elsa learns to redefine “Frozen:”

To mean accepting yourself for who you are

and facing challenges with emotional strength.

[Singing] “When I finally do what frozen things do, in Summer!!”

The characters in Frozen talk about ice in two opposing ways throughout the movie:

“It's okay you can just unfreeze it.”

or as something valuable that can be mined.

[Singing] “A frozen heart worth mining.”

When Anna's is struck by Elsa's powers and her heart is frozen,

we're told that melting Anna's heart is the only way to save her.

“Only an act of true love can thaw a frozen heart.”

In this case, the ice has been put in Anna's heart artificially.

It doesn't represent an actual part of her identity.

Because the ice is alien to her warm and caring nature,

The ice is melted, destroyed by the emotional warmth

of the true love she shows in risking her life for her sister.

But warmth and melting aren't the only ways to confront a “frozen heart” in the movie.

Elsa is the one with the metaphorically frozen heart.

She's cold and distant, and refuses to open up to her sister.

Anna understands that the way to get through Elsa's cold exterior

isn't to thaw and melt the ice, but to mine it.

[Singing] “I'm right out here for you, just let me in.”

Like the miners at the beginning of the movie,

Anna knows that the ice surrounding Elsa's heart shouldn't be destroyed,

and appreciate her frozenness for what it is.

Taking the care of digging through Elsa's frozen exterior,

“[Singing] The cold never bothered me anyway.”

There are many of aspects of life that aren't how we'd like them to be.

And that's how Elsa's powers feel to her.

But she spends most of her life responding to her ice powers with fear.

to completely repress and ignore her emotions.

Growing up, Elsa's distance causes Anna a lot of emotional pain.

because she's more afraid of hurting her sister physically.

“No, I'm just trying to protect you.”

the approach of freezing up can only work for so long.

Elsa's holding in her feelings becomes unsustainable.
