Anna week day 4: Self-consciousness

I was struggling with what I would do for day 4 (hence why it’s a day late, but I wanted to post it nonetheless) until I saw a gif with this particular scene, and I remembered how confused I felt whenever I saw this scene. Now, I’m not good at analyses - but please hear me out for a moment.

I see Anna as a very confident character. She knows what she wants and she will do what she thinks she has to do to get it. That she would show such relief after convincing Kristoff to go with her, seemed out of place to me.

But then I realized it’s not out of place at all. Kristoff is at this point her only chance at getting to talk to her sister. He has to bring her to the North Mountain because there is no other way Anna would be able to get there. She realized this way before I did, and bought him his stuff hoping he would bring her, despite having no idea how he would respond, especially after what happened in Oaken’s Trading Post. She’s relieved, because he decided to go with her, despite her messing up and him telling her he ‘doesn’t take people places’. She nailed her only chance, and she has all the right to be relieved.

Anna is a very confident character, but that doesn’t mean she’s not aware of her flaws. She knows her weak spots, but doesn’t let them get in the way. She’s amazing.
