History Tearjerker / AFrozenHeart

* While what Hans does in ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'' is morally wrong, the TieInNovel gives [[FreudianExcuse an explanation why he ends up being a messed-up person]] that's heartrending. He often gets the short end of the stick in his family, as his father usually dismisses him for being too ineffectual. Note that much of his backstory also involves AdultFear, NightmareFuel, and ParanoiaFuel as well:
** For starters, during the family gathering, some of his brothers toss food ''and'' glassware just for daydreaming, while his father chides him for being a weakling and showing up late. Plus, one of the scenes shows Hans blatantly {{Self Harm}}ing by running his fingers along the rough wood of an old table, but finding the physical pain to be oddly better than the constant abuse his family heaps on him. When Hans attempts not to rise to his brothers' bait, the king declares that Hans should "learn a thing or two" from his brothers and "stop acting like he's better than them." From his father's perspective, [[AlwaysSecondBest Hans will always]] [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter be second best compared to his older sons]]. It causes him to [[InferioritySuperiorityComplex develop an obsessive need to prove himself worthy to his family]] and be recognized as TheDutifulSon by becoming the king's gofer. As he grows up, the repeated abuse slowly corrupts Hans to the point he accepts his family's mindset, hardening his heart to the point of thinking LoveIsAWeakness, but it also leaves him [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove incapable]] of reciprocating love when Anna asks him for a TrueLovesKiss. The fact that [[WorseWithContext he downplays it as "what brothers do"]] reveals the psychological damage that's been done. By the time he's a young adult, Hans not only suffers from clinical depression, [=PTSD=], and possible SelfHarm, he believes that ''the abuse is normal''. He even doesn't seek outside help to cope with the family issues, having chosen to accept the suffering for its sake.

** At times, Hans feels he's not even a part of his own large family. While mentioning to Anna that three of his brothers ignored him for two years, it's clear he despises them. The closest to support he has are Lars and his mother, but neither of them are close enough to help him get through life. Also, when he notices how Arendelle's citizens become deeply concerned with their missing queen and princess after Anna's horse returns without its owner, he briefly wonders if his family would rescue him if he were stuck in a similar situation.
** His thoughts after being ordered to do the king's dirty tasks imply he secretly [[HiddenDepths hates his father for]] [[EvenEvilHasStandards his wanton violence.]] But he also fears the repercussions of ignoring the king's orders, including the prospect of losing his father's respect and his brothers making harsh jabs about him "not having the guts to do anything." Also, after spending time being the king's errand boy, Hans is finally allowed to attend Elsa's coronation and secure a trade deal, and it seems he has won his father's trust, but then, the king [[YankTheDogsChain immediately tells]] him to come back soon so that Hans can babysit his brothers' children. This shows that no matter what Hans did for him, his father only barely trusts him and still severely restricts his freedom. Hans is also ''clearly terrified'' of his family's wrath as he's being deported back, having been denied an opportunity to explain his actions.

* Hans's human family serves as a foil to both the Arendellian royal family and Kristoff's adoptive troll family. While the other two families are [[ParentsAsPeople misguided]] and [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents inappropriate]] respectively when it comes to raising their children, both families are genuinely loving and caring to each other. However, the Westergaards are highly dysfunctional and the 13 brothers try to out-compete each other with violence and harsh mocking, and use dubious means to obtain their father's respect. Hans' thoughts regarding his brothers indicate that he even planned to rub his achievements in his family's faces.

By the time he's a young adult, Hans not only suffers from clinical depression, [=PTSD=], and possible SelfHarm, he believes that ''the abuse is normal''.

** The way his actions pan out imply that Hans thinks of himself as a loser with a massive inferiority complex. He has low self-esteem, and never seeks or receives any emotional help from outsiders to help him cope with the enormous stress his family put him through.

Plus, one of the scenes shows Hans blatantly {{Self Harm}}ing by running his fingers along the rough wood of an old table, but finding the physical pain to be oddly better than the constant abuse his family heaps on him. It also heavily implies he's a self-harmer. The fact that [[WorseWithContext he downplays it as "what brothers do"]] reveals the psychological damage that's been done.

** By the time he's a young adult, Hans not only suffers from clinical depression, psychosis, [=PTSD=], and possible SelfHarm, he believes that ''the abuse is normal''. His father encourages his brothers' abuse and frequently compares them to him via repeated DisappointedInYou and WhereDidWeGoWrong tirades. When Hans attempts not to rise to his brothers' bait, the king declares that Hans should "learn a thing or two" from his brothers and "stop acting like he's better than them." From his father's perspective, [[AlwaysSecondBest Hans will always]] [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter be second best compared to his older sons]].

** The ending. [[UsedToBeASweetKid Once the kind of man Anna or Elsa would have probably accepted]], Hans [[TragicVillain turned into a cruel and desperate man]] [[BecameTheirOwnAntithesis like his father and most of his brothers]]. And after his crimes, he's sent back to them be judged and sentenced.

** His thoughts after being ordered to do the king's dirtiest tasks imply he secretly hates his job and [[HiddenDepths despises his father for]] [[EvenEvilHasStandards his wanton violence.]] But he also fears the repercussions of ignoring the king's orders, including the prospect of losing his father's respect and his brothers making harsh jabs about him "not having the guts to do anything." Also, after spending time being the king's errand boy, Hans is finally allowed to attend Elsa's coronation and secure a trade deal, and it seems he has won his father's trust, but then, the king [[YankTheDogsChain immediately tells]] him to come back home soon so that Hans can babysit his brothers' children. This shows that no matter what Hans did for him, his father only barely trusts him and still severely restricts his freedom. Hans is also ''clearly terrified'' of his family's wrath as he's being deported back, having been denied an opportunity to explain his actions.

** As he's being sent back home, he's baffled to see that while the sisters have reconciled with one another despite years of separation, neither he nor his brothers won't have any opportunity to get along with each other, as their father perceives such actions to be signs of weakness. Coming from a household where very few people trust each other, Hans ends up [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove clueless on what an actual happy relationship would be]].

** During the queen's birthday, the king even makes a rude jab about Hans's status as a MommasBoy, stating that the queen "will be the only one who would have even noticed that [he was] missing." Also, after he is hit in the head with an object, Rudi and Runo tease Hans, asking if he's going to "run to mommy" so that she can "kiss his boo-boo to make it all better." Based on this, it's implied that when Hans was younger, his mother was TheConfidant for him, but as he grew older and more knowledgeable of his brothers' tactics, he distanced himself from her, knowing that his father and brothers would only mock him even more for running to her when in need. Worse still, no one knows how the queen of the Southern Isles or Lars reacted to Hans's crimes in Arendelle.

** Lars's wife Helga despises her parents for shipping her off to the Isles and doesn't get along with Lars despite his repeated attempts.
* Hans [[ShipperOnDeck hopes]] that his third oldest brother Lars will get along with his pregnant wife Helga, who blames her own family for shipping her off to the Isles. Lars doubts their baby will make them get along and thinks Helga would want to keep the child to herself.

* The [[BrokenBird queen of the Southern Isles]]. Her husband is an [[AbusiveParents emotionally abusive]] {{sociopath}} who brainwashes most of their sons into being his devoted enforcers, while she is forced to watch them torment each other to fit their father's standards. It's implied she wants to stop the abuse, but is unable to do anything and gives small smiles to Hans as he's mocked and ridiculed his whole life.

** At times, Hans feels he's not even a part of his own large family. While mentioning to Anna that three of his brothers ignored him for two years, it's clear he holds a massive grudge against them. The closest to support he has are Lars and his mother, but neither of them are close enough to help him get through life. Also, when he notices how Arendelle's citizens become deeply concerned with their missing queen and princess after Anna's horse returns without its owner, he briefly wonders if his family would care rescuing him if he were stuck in a similar situation.

As he grows up, the repeated abuse slowly corrupts Hans to the point he accepts his family's mindset, hardening his heart to the point of thinking LoveIsAWeakness that's easily exploitable, but it also leaves him [[EvilCannotComprehendGood incapable]] of reciprocating love when Anna asks him for a TrueLovesKiss.
** When Hans makes SelfDeprecatingHumor on his lowly status in the familial pecking order with Lars, only Lars knows the reality behind Hans' [[DeadpanSnarker deadpan jokes]]. Hans even speculates that the king [[ShippingTorpedo plans to]] [[ReassignedToAntarctica have him become]] [[LockedAwayInAMonastery a monk]] for the [[TheChurch Brotherhood of the Isles]] instead of marrying him off. Also as time passed by, it's implied that Lars and Hans became increasingly distant with each other after the latter decides to become the king's gofer.
** At times, Hans feels he's not even a part of his own large family. While mentioning to Anna that three of his brothers ignored him for two years, it's clear he refuses to let go of the massive grudge he holds against them. The closest to support he has are Lars and his mother, but neither of them are close enough to help him get through life. Also, when he notices how Arendelle's citizens become deeply concerned with their missing queen and princess after Anna's horse returns without its owner, he briefly wonders if his family would care rescuing him if he were stuck in a similar situation.

Growing up in a dysfunctional household where very few people get along with each other, Hans ends up [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove clueless on what an actual happy relationship would be.]]

** Except for Lars, most of Hans' brothers are pricks who take sadistic joy in punishing him in whatever methods they can, ranging from pranks to downright physical abuse. For example:

*** Hans hates family and diplomatic gatherings, as he often ends up being the laughing stock by his brothers. For example, he's nervous attending his mother's birthday, and as such, he stands outside the door for 20 minutes. His father scolds him for being late, while his brothers throw objects at him just for daydreaming, and make harsh jabs about being a MommasBoy when he shows up late.

*** With Elsa: someone who avoids forming relationships and emotional bonds, but doesn't fear causing harm to others, and gets zero support from his siblings to help with his issues. Because of this, he sees all kinds of love as weakness.

** At times, Hans acknowledges that he's the odd one out in his large family. While mentioning to Anna that three of his brothers ignored him for two years, it's clear he refuses to let go of the massive grudge he holds against them. The closest to support he has are Lars and his mother, but neither of them are close enough to help him get through life. Also, when he notices how Arendelle's citizens become deeply concerned with their missing queen and princess after Anna's horse returns without its owner, he briefly wonders if his family would care rescuing him if he were stuck in a similar situation.

** Most of Hans' fantasies about his father always involve the king taking him out to hunting, valuing his input during political meetings, naming him heir to the kingdom, and most of all, recognizing him as TheDutifulSon. However, those fantasies always end with Hans realizing he'll always be the invisible "throwaway" who's of no use.

* While what Hans does in ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'' is morally wrong, the TieInNovel gives [[FreudianExcuse an explanation why he ends up being a messed-up person]] that's heartrending. He often gets the short end of the stick in his family, as his father usually dismisses him for being too ineffectual. Note that much of his backstory also involves AdultFear, NightmareFuel, and ParanoiaFuel as well:

** The king of the Southern Isles has blatantly ignored his wife for ''almost 30 years''. It's implied she tried to object to his actions at some point in the past, but the repercussions were so severe that she eventually gave up. One can only imagine the immense mental stress she's been through and is still undergoing after accepting being neglected, giving birth to so many children, and being forced to watch her sons develop serious psychological issues.

** Caleb blatantly ignores his pregnant wife in favor of seeking his father's attention.

*** With Anna: used to being friendless and feeling inadequate, but grows up to be a self-centered person who sees all love as weaknesses, and thinks competition makes them more successful to compensate for their insecurities. Sadly, he never gets to reconcile with his own family, and remains friendless at the end of the movie.

Sadly, he never gets to reconcile with his own family, and remains friendless at the end of the movie.

** From how he's shown in the novel, the thing that keeps Hans from the goals he seeks isn't anyone, [[HisOwnWorstEnemy but Hans himself.]] He could've easily found happiness by getting close with Anna or Elsa, or by pursuing a different interest altogether, but his desperation to win his father's approval in hopes of making his life better undermines everything he worked so hard for. His desire to earn his family's respect drives him to make choices which make things worse, and as a result, he ends back to square one and is now hated in and out of the Southern Isles.

* Caleb blatantly ignores his pregnant wife in favor of seeking his father's attention.
* Noting how his brothers' wives don't like being neglected and/or hate living in the Isles, and how his mother has accepted being ignored, Hans notes that most of his own family is absolutely miserable with each other, but keep a HappyMarriageCharade for convenience's sake. Most of the 13 sons don't get along with each other, and the women of the household even cope with their abusive spouses by [[LadyDrunk drinking wine]]. Hans ends up believing [[SillyRabbitRomanceIsForKids it's better to suffer]] for the sake of appearances, but it also leaves him [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove clueless]] on what an actual happy relationship would be, be it familial or romantic.

* Hans' older brothers are also [[ShadowArchetype darker versions of Elsa as well]], in that they shut out their siblings, but have no chance to reconcile with each other as their father abhors such actions. As with Hans, they accept causing harm to others and refuse to get outside help to cope with their issues. The king's emotional manipulation has also caused them to develop serious psychological issues such as WellDoneSonGuy tendencies, LackOfEmpathy, and [[{{Manchild}} immaturity]]. This shows the relationship Anna and Elsa could have become had they refused to reconcile, causing Anna to become TheUnfettered like Hans, who embodies her fears of being the SpareToTheThrone.
