Detta verkar koka ner till fyra huvudelement;
1) Grand Pabbies information var ganska vag. Hans allmänna råd var att hon måste kontrollera sina krafter. Hennes föräldrar tar detta för att de ska begränsa dem snarare än lära sig använda dem effektivt .
2) Elsa ses av sina föräldrar som en fara för sig själv och andra. Förmodligen när hon tar bort handskarna (både metaforiskt och bokstavligt) dödar hon nästan hela riket.
3) Elsas magiska förmågor växer och blir mer okontrollerade över tiden. Hennes föräldrar verkar djupt oroliga att om kungariket upptäcker sina krafter, kommer de att reagera med rädsla och avsky, skada hennes chanser att bli nästa drottning.
The king and queen acted just as cautiously inside the castle. As the princesses grew, their parents did everything they could to ensure that Elsa learned to control herself. That meant the girls were hardly ever together. Nor did Elsa seek Anna out, since she was afraid she might accidentally hurt her. Day after day, Elsa spent most of her time training to be the next ruler—and learning to keep her powers in check.
The training was difficult, and Elsa often felt unable to contain her magic. Ice seemed to form on her fingertips whenever she laughed or cried or became upset.
Worried, the king gave Elsa a pair of leather gloves. He advised her to keep them on at all times, and reminded her that she had to hide her icy magic in order to stay safe. “Conceal it,” he told her.
“Don’t feel it,” she answered.
“Don’t let it show,” he agreed.
Elsa själv är ovillig att använda sin magi konstruktivt . Hennes rädsla är att hon kommer att skada andra. Hon vill helt enkelt förtrycka sina krafter.
Without any memory of Elsa’s magic, Anna had no idea why she was always alone. Over time, she simply came to accept that her sister’s coldness was part of who she was. She didn’t know that Elsa was lonely too, and that she missed Anna as much as Anna missed her. Elsa longed to play with Anna but was fearful of the harm her magic might cause by mistake.
