Walking Away from Love, Running towards Love

One way you can tell how a person is feeling is through their body language or actions. Such as the case is with Kristoff and how he feels about Anna.

After he drops her off and the gates close, Kristoff hangs around a little longer, thinking that maybe he could still help her. But then he remembers that Anna has a true love that isn’t him and who could save her. Without even thinking about getting onto Sven for a ride, especially since he no longer has a sled, Kristoff just walks away from Arendelle.

Kristoff is depressed and heartbroken, so much so that he just walks away, probably not even realizing how far he has walked when he reaches part of the mountain. It’s not just that he is very concerned for Anna’s safety, he believes that she could never love him since she already has a true love. Hans is above him in status and everything else, so Kristoff thinks that he could never compete with him for Anna’s love.

And yet he can’t stop thinking about her.

So then when Sven interferes, Kristoff refuses to go back, just because he doesn’t want to be in the way. But when he sees an even colder storm forming around Arendelle, there is only one thing on his mind: Anna.

So then on instinct, he runs. He runs without hesitating or considering his surroundings. He runs and jumps in deep snow and nearly falls down.

When Sven passes by him, Kristoff jumps onto his back. He notices that Sven was going much faster than he was on foot, so he realizes that he can get to Anna much faster this way.

Now Kristoff has no idea about Hans’s betrayal in this moment. For all he may know, Anna could be happy with Hans. And yet once he sees the storm, Kristoff knows that Anna could be in even more danger. His concern for her arises again, and he feels he must know whether she is safe or not. If he didn’t go back, he would probably never forgive himself.

So while this man had limited contact with people and never experienced love before, not to mention he didn’t want to help Anna, don’t you think his body language and actions in these scenes say something in how he changed while in Anna’s company?
