ELSA: Like Elsa in that I feared and hated who I was…learned to conceal and not feel…shutting the whole world out. Then, love and selfless acts broke down the walls and I learned to embrace who I am. It is not something to be feared or hated, but to be used powerfully for the Kingdom. Love enables me to use in a positive way…a way that helps others…that which I once used as a weapon.
“Yes, I’m alone! But, I’m alone and free!”
INSPECTOR JAVERT: A villianous character, yet I see him in me too often. Justice. Relentless pursuit of righting a wrong no matter the cost…not in a righteous manner but in a Pharisaical manner. Not resting until those who have done wrong pay for the wrong they have done. But, unlike Javert, I have learned themeaning of redemption…and realized that justice is really restorative not punitive.
EOWYN: Like Eowyn, I found myself unfit for womanly things, desiring to do those things denied because of my gender…having strengths and passion that longed for expression but were not permitted….spending my life in cage, looking on as others went to battle in ways I wanted to but could not. Mind you, not in an attitude of bitterness, rebellion, or usurpation, but wistful longing.
“What do you fear, my lady?”
“A cage. To stay behind bars until life and old age accept them and all chance of doing great deeds is gone beyond recall or desire.”
