King Lear becomes 'Frozen'

Writer's picture: It'sMyBlyth It'sMyBlyth

The scene is set, alone, Elsa works within her room guarded against all her power, hidden beneath the safety of gloves, restrained from the inhospitable cold. A giant castle and she spends her days within her room all by herself, lonely as it is there’s no one to hurt; allowing for no distraction. She carries the weight of others upon her shoulders: the Knights whose duties remain to protect the castle at any cost, her guiltless innocent sister Auna, who will put the love of Elsa above anything else that may come in her path, truly someone who will never hold a grudge; lastly much of the other staff prioritize the castle, they rely on Elsa, look up to her, the stressfulness has built up over years after the power was pushed among this helpless princess and she was named queen. After the quick unexpected passing of her parents, it has become Elsa's responsibility to raise the castle, there was no other option aside from this. (Reader: you would not believe the combination of skills you must have to run a castle.)  Putting the safety of others above herself, her secret is her power and it must remain this way.

“Knock, knock, knock”

“Elsa? Are you in there, no one’s seen you in weeks. ” Auna questions in a curious tone.

“Nobody’s home, go away” insists Elsa.  

“Come out come out, a new queen is about to become crowned” Auna repeats in innocence

“Give her my blessing.” Esla furiously mumbles  

It is Auna’s 18th birthday and she is now eligible to become queen. Soon Elsa will be seen as powerless to everyone in royalty. She will lose all respect from others, especially, because she has had very little care for anyone aside from herself, so focused on her own secret wanting to remain hidden she’s barely noticed her friends and family have started to walk away; quickly Elsa will realize no one truly cares for the poor old queen.

“You always wear those stupid gloves, are you a germaphobe or something” questions Auna,

“No, I’m no germaphobe”  repeats Elsa.

“Then what are you hiding” Auna angrily states and begins to lose  her temper

Auna rips the gloves off of Elsa.

“Auna no!” fearfully, Elsa states.

Ice is everywhere, Elsa releases her true powers and runs away.

Elsa releases Ice from her hands; people now believe she’s crazy. People fear Elsa, she leaves a trail of terror. Auna tries to follow Elsa but it’s no use, and why chase someone who clearly wants to get away? Elsa must learn to find herself with no one else's help, she’s been betrayed and must begin to understand the true meaning behind herself before she becomes focused on others.

Ug. Frozen. Every time I would say I was Anna, someone would ask me “how’s Elsa?” Not one of my favourite movies. Nice adaptation, though.
