As a child, I vividly remembering watching the movie, “It”. I remember this insignificant event clearly for one reason. It kept me up for days because I was so terrified by the film. “It” was originally a horror novel written by Steven King but was also released into a movie.

After Kay gets a shard of a magic mirror in his eye that makes everything look ugly and bad, he starts treating Gerda horribly. Eventually the boy was stolen by the Snow Queen who turned his heart to ice and made him forget Gerda. So in an effort to save Kay, Gerda went on a journey through Northern Europe to find him and free him from the Queen’s icy grasp. Frozen, a recent retelling of this story, also has some of these elements Andersen wrote about. Where Hans Christian Andersen grew up, his life experiences, and his religion affected how he wrote the story “The Snow Queen” and how the modern telling is told today.
