Third artikel in three days? I have a life..heh...heh..ANYWAYS, I've heard multiple times people calling Elsa complex, but they usually don't give an argument to back that up, so I decided to write this! I've also heard a lot of complaints from Frozen haters asking how Elsa is so complex, so I'm menulis this for that as well. Anyway let's get started! I hope anda enjoy! :)
Characteristics of a Complex Character (gotten online):
1. He atau she undergoes an important change as the plot unfolds.
2. The changes he atau she experiences occur because of his atau her actions atau experiences in the story.
3. Changes in the character may be good atau bad.
4. The character is highly developed and complex, meaning they have a variety of traits and different sides to their personality.
5. Some of their character traits may create conflict in the character.
6. He atau she displays strengths, weaknesses, and a full range of emotions.
7. He atau she has significant interactions with other characters.
8. He atau she advances the plot atau develops a major theme in the text.
Undergoes an Important Change as the Plot Unfolds
It's undeniable that Elsa goes through character development. At the beginning of the movie, she's such a scared, distant character. She doesn't accept who she is and keeps herself in isolation because of it. As the movie progresses, she has some bumps in the rode, but oleh the end she's a new person, but in a realistic way. She finally accepts herself and her powers and is a lebih open person.
Change Occurs Because of His/Her Actions atau Experiences
Elsa's character development from distant and withdrawn to accepting and open occurs mostly from Anna's actions, but Elsa's play a role as well. If Elsa would've never Frozen Anna's heart, she would've never hugged Anna and figured out that cinta was all she needed.
Changes in the Character Can Be Good atau Bad
Although Elsa's main change is at the end of the movie, she also goes through a change earlier on. She changes in Let it Go, and then she also changed in the scene afterwards, when she's once again afraid of her powers. That change is for the worse, since she goes back on her word and starts to fear herself again. I think her change from accepting to not accepting is realistic, since it's impossible to do a complete 360 shift after just one song.
Variety of Traits and Different Sides
We can see that Elsa is mature, yet playful too, well-spoken and can keep a level head, yet can lose that level head too and get scared and nervous. Elsa also has a tough times facing her problems head on. She often runs away from them instead of seeking a solution. She's also very selfless, yet can be unintentionally selfish. She's quite elegant too, but can let her hair down and have a good time. She is also very sweet, but can get borderline aggressive when pushed.
Character Traits Create Conflict
Well, Elsa undeniably creates conflict. Her running away from her problems due to her lack of experience in dealing with things. Also, her aggression definitely creates conflict, since she nearly kills two men!
Displays Strengths, Weaknesses, and a Full Range of Emotions
In the movie, we see Elsa joyful, reserved, "letting it go", sad, scared, angry. We basically see every emotion possible on Elsa's face. We also undeniably see her strengths and weaknesses. We see how creative she is through building her ice sculpture, how she's well spoken and respected, but also we see the weaknesses that haunt Elsa in her everyday life. Her sadness, her fear.
Significant Interactions With Other Characters
Well, we see her with Anna, multiple times, with Hans, with the towns people (how she reacted when she was trying to escape, it was clear she doesn't like large crowds), the Duke (revealing that she doesn't like dancing), Olaf, her parents, and a bit of Kristoff, so I'd definitely say this is a "check".
Develops A Theme
Elsa is the main driver of one of the main themes of Frozen, accepting yourself for who anda are. Elsa shows that anda can go from hating who anda are, being scared of yourself, sad with yourself, to becoming a new person. A happier person, a lebih content person. All and all, Elsa is definitely an amazing character, and definitely deserves the judul of a "complex character".

Hello fellow fanpoppers! This is a short artikel but about something a lot of people do not even realize!As we know, Hercules' father is Zeus. Well, Zeus' brother happens to be Poseidon. Poseidon was blessed with a son named Triton. Some of anda are going wait a minute....... well,for those who haven't got it yet, Triton is Ariel's father! So that makes Hercules and Ariel first cousins!!!! I guess that explains all the red hair! I thought that was interesting and thought i'd share! Thank anda for hangin' in with my greek mythology lesson!

Ariel and Belle are the most beloved and populer disney princesses in Fanpop. To tell the truth, Belle has slightly lebih fans. She is pretty, sure, but beautiful? Not likely. She has brown hair and hazel eyes (that's a charmer) but to me it looks quite plain. And she's pretty but she's TOTALLY ANAWARE OF IT? Really? Like she didn't see it when she looked in that mirror?
But Ariel was completely aware of it. She tried to be good-looking in front of her dream boy. Red hair and blue eyes are a lot prettier than brown hair and hazel eyes to me.
Belle reads (which is why people like her) and seeks for adventure, while Ariel fights for what she wants to get it. Sure, Belle does think of others first and Ariel is a bit selfish, but Belle also is TOO perfect. Nobody's perfect. At least Ariel made mistakes and we can relate to her.
So as anda can see, this is why I prefer Ariel a lot lebih than Belle.
