Abstract

This paper has the first aim to analyze Elsa's magic power of why and how she, as a heroine in the animation of Frozen, is in the emotion of fear and anger. This paper will explain why these two emotions are twisted compound to identify Elsa's iced emotion in the ice kingdom. And secondly, this paper attempts to connect Elsa's fear emotion in her real life is the other flip with that of anger throughout the characters' network in Frozen, which symbolically reflect the feminine pattern of real society that Walt Disney prospects for the dream society. Through the cognitive process for Elsa's ice kingdom between emotion status and social network, we can assume the pattern of social network with emotional chart and the archetype of human emotion through the cognitive-emotional storytelling on the emotion of Elsa in Frozen.

본 논문은 디즈니 만화영화 "겨울왕국"에서 특이한 마술적 힘을 가지고 있는 엘사를 주인공으로 놓고, 그녀가 왜 두려움과 분노의 감정을 가지게 되었고 이런 감정을 어떻게 마술로 표출하는 지를 분석하는 것을 일차적 목표로 정한다. 마술을 걸기만 하고 풀지 못하는 자유롭지 못한 엘사가 자신의 왕국을 떠나가는 것이 그녀의 두려움과 분노에 찬 얼어붙은 왜곡된 감성을 스스로 얼음성에 갇히게 만드는 상징적 행위로 해석한다. 둘째로는 디즈니의 여성성에 대한 새로운 양상을 보여주는 본 "겨울왕국"은 환상적 애니메이션이 실제 사회의 여성적 억압에 대한 분노와 그 두려운 해방감에 관한 문제해결과 얼마나 유사한 패턴을 가지고 있는 지를 시청자가 엘사와의 감정이입을 통한 감정 상호작용을 통해 분석하고자 한다. 마지막으로 본 논문은 스토리텔링 기법을 통해서 엘사를 중심으로 시청자의 두려움이나 분노가 어떤, 그리고 얼마나 증폭적인 감정 상호작용을 함으로써, 인간 보편적인 분노와 두려움의 감성인 엘사의 감성이 어디서 근원되었고, 왜 마술로 독특하게 상징적 재현이 되며, 그 감성을 어떻게 해결하는 지의 과정을 독자와의 스토리텔링 상호작용을 통해서 분석한다.
