Theme of Love in Frozen
Definition of Love
“Love” is probably one of the most commonly used terms in the world that is mentioned almost every single day between family members, close friends, or people in romantic relationships. It is a very common subject used in songs by famous singers or bands, and it is by far one of the most popular topics in fiction, both in movies and stories. But even though it is part of everyday life, just what is love and what does it mean?
Outside of fiction, there really does not seem to be one single definition of love. It is a feeling that ranges from close, personal affection to pleasure. It is an emotion of personal attachment and strong attraction. It is also a virtue that represents affection, compassion, and kindness, and people who are defined as loving demonstrate these traits. The basic and most common forms of love are familiarity, friendship, and romance, the latter of which being the form that is the focus of many fairy tales. Having never experienced love outside of my close friends and family, I have no basic understanding of romance. However, I do know that a major part of what makes that kind of relationship work is the compatibility between the man and woman. You want to have common interests so you can always have something to discuss, but you don’t want to be too alike because you could very easily get very bored with each other. This is why it is also good for the people to have differences, but, at the same time, to not to be too different, otherwise you could just disagree and argue all the time.
Outside of romance, if I could provide my own definition of love, it would be about getting close to someone or something and becoming emotionally attached to them. To me, love is about showing care and kindness towards someone. You can start off liking someone, then as you get to know them, that feeling can deepen to love. It’s about considering their feelings and needs, and sometimes putting theirs before your own. Besides making occasional sacrifices, the amount of care you develop towards someone can be shown in just how far you would go to keep them safe from harm. When you come to love someone, it becomes a natural instinct to help and protect them. Besides sacrifices, showing love towards someone involves gestures of affection, such as holding hands, hugging, kissing, and even calling each other certain terms of endearment. But love is not obvious or something you can recognize. It is not easy to gain and does not happen so fast; it has to grow and develop. Falling in love with someone takes time to do. Therefore, I don’t believe in love at first sight. I think what happens more at first sight is a crush or infatuation, which are not the same as true love. Such acts often occur because of someone’s behavior and appearance. Those are very superficial reasons to love someone, and love is deeper than just what you see on the outside. That is also involved in what makes one person grow to love another, based on how well you get to know someone. If you think about it, it really makes no sense to say you love someone if you do not know certain things about them. From learning how a person acts on a daily basis to discovering their interests, these things help you decide what you like or dislike in a person. But if your likes about someone dominate what you don’t like, that is what helps to support why you love that person. You can start by liking the general traits of someone, then discovering their depths, of what is beyond their appearances. It is all about how what matters is on the inside, not what is outside.
