Okay, my opinions on Elsa are constantly changing. Sometimes I like her, sometimes I'm neutral about her, sometimes I dislike her. Sometimes she's in my juu 5, sometimes she's in my Middle 3, and sometimes she's in my Bottom 5. wewe get the point. Overall, my feelings are pretty mixed about Elsa. There are a lot of things I like about her, yet at the same time, there are a lot of things I dislike about her. So I'll be explaining what these things are.
What I like about her:
Well, I like how interesting she is. I think she's pretty complex actually. Not amazingly complex, but a bit so. Her childhood makes me pity her, but it doesn't help much with relate-ability. I think she develops, even if it is rushed. She changes a lot and loses the fear that she had before. I admire her for losing her fear so quickly. (However I will explain in the negative section why I think it's rushed and kind of forced.) I still think she has a better development than a lot of the princesses. She develops zaidi than characters like Merida and Ariel, but her development isn't completely overdone and doesn't change her character too much like Mulan's. Overall, she'd probably be in my juu 5 best developed Disney Princesses.
She interests me a lot as a character. I like characters who are complex, compelling, interesting, and have a good backstory to them. She doesn't really meet all of the categories correctly, but she's interesting enough all around. Her "backstory" with how her parents just locked her up in her room for most of her life is, (though frustrating) interesting and it makes her character unfold zaidi and shows zaidi of what she has been through. Because of what she's been through, she starts to become very fearful of herself and her powers. To me in characters this is interesting. I also really upendo it when characters tend to fear themselves. I think it's a twist on fearing other things in the world. Anyways, ujumla, jumla that is most of what I like about Elsa, though there are a couple other things as well. Let's get to the inayofuata part.
Things I Dislike About Her:
I don't like how her development is rushed. Like I said, I think her development is one of the better ones, but it is still rushed and pretty unrealistic. I also consider her kind of selfish. She puts her fear above herself and her fear above other people, including her sister. I don't like how the movie doesn't make it look like she made the mistakes, she's shown to be perfect at the end of the movie like she has done nothing wrong, though that is zaidi of a problem with the movie than with her character.
Once again, zaidi of a problem with the movie, but I think that getting zaidi screentime would have helped her. I think that if she was the protagonist it actually would have helped a lot and she might even be one of my inayopendelewa Disney Princesses. Even though I have problems with her as a character and how the movie portrayed her, I still like her, however. She is currently my 6th inayopendelewa Disney Princess and will most likely be staying there for a while. :)
