Olaf: A True Love Expert

During Frozen, Kristoff (and Anna, though she doesn’t know it right away) frequently refers to the trolls as “love experts.” When he leads the group to go see them, Olaf says, “I like to consider myself a love expert.”

Now while this seems to be another quote by Olaf that you can brush off as something silly, he actually proves himself to be a genuine love expert.



Olaf is an expert on love because was built from love and is the living embodiment of the love between Elsa and Anna. When he tells Anna that love means putting another person’s needs before yours, he is 100% correct, and uses Kristoff’s act of bringing her back to Arendelle as a perfect example.

Being Elsa’s creation, Olaf knows this fact on love because Elsa did the same thing by putting Anna’s needs and safety before her own when she pushed her away all those years. He even demonstrates his own act of true love when he stays with Anna in the library. Even though Anna fears that he will melt, Olaf proves his love by refusing to abandon her, and showing little to no concern over his own fate.

Anna takes Olaf’s words to heart, and so when she saves Elsa from being killed by Hans, that is the act of true love she needed to thaw her frozen heart. Olaf further proves himself as a love expert because he is the first one to realize that Anna’s sacrifice was the counted act of true love.

And think about it: if it hadn’t been for Olaf, Anna not only might have died much sooner, but not have been saved entirely if she just resorted to romance as the form of love that was needed to save her.

Since today is Valentine’s Day, I figured a post about love would be appropriate for the day. Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! :D <3
