Thus Spake Elsa

Friends of mine may be aware of my enthusiasm for searching the hidden, philosophical depths of the movie Frozen. Some of them have even expressed skepticism, dear reader, that such profundity truly lies beneath the ice of a Disney film, a film which features a singing snowman, no less. Ah, but you and I know, don't we, that there is more here than meets the eye, even with that snowman? But Olaf shall have to wait for another time. I want to begin the first of no doubt several investigations into the philosophy of Frozen with the quite obvious fact that it draws inspiration from none other than Nietzsche.
