Symbolism of the Streak

From the moment Elsa strikes Anna and the white streak appears in Anna’s hair, Elsa is struck with fearing her powers and especially in harming Anna once again.

When Anna is struck in the heart by Elsa, a curse overcomes her body, one that will freeze her to solid ice. The first thing that happens is that the streak becomes bigger, and eventually, Anna’s hair turns completely white.

However, while Anna temporarily freezes to death, her white streak has disappeared by the time she thaws.

Now some people complained that it disappeared, saying things of how a part of Anna was gone, or that she and Elsa were trying to forget their adventure. However, there is total significance in why the streak was removed.

The white streak represented the broken relationship between Anna and Elsa. Even though it’s in her hair and isn’t painful, the streak acted as a physical scar from when Anna was almost killed, and it was an emotional scar for Elsa, because seeing the streak only painfully reminded her of how she was responsible for nearly killing Anna. One could even say that it was the cause of Elsa’s isolation, because seeing Anna reminded her (Elsa) that the streak was still in her hair.

The streak disappearing represents how the sisters are now as close as they were when they were children. Now there is nothing stopping them from being the best of friends that they used to be. They decide to put their painful past behind them and move forward in the present by starting a new and happy relationship.

So when Anna thawed, it was like she given a whole new beginning in life, including repairing her bond with Elsa. That being said, the streak was meant to disappear, and I’m happy that it did.
