The Nøkk's real purpose | Theory | Analysis

So I was just scrolling along YouTube until I came across some deleted scenes for Frozen 2 (and I have to say they're really good scenes - bummer they got cut) - and when I watched 'Kristoff's Lie' and I saw a comment saying “I thought the Nook was just some murderous horse... But he's not... He seeks the truth in your heart. If you're not true to yourself or others, then it kills you”. That's how my first impressions of the Nøkk were. And being honest until I saw this deleted scene again I realised that that's what the Nokk really does. That scene really tells us clearly what the Nøkk's purpose is and why it's so rageful in the dark sea. It seeks the truth in your heart. It wants you to be open and honest to yourself and others otherwise what's the purpose of living a lie without achieving anything and living happily?

Kristoff's lie in the scene was living the princely life with Anna. He admits how he doesn't like being polite, and greetings lots of people, wearing fancy clothes etc all to which Anna ends up saying “I don't think we should get married”. I personally am glad this was cut because I wouldn't want Anna to feel that no one wants to marry her for her or their relationship to have such a sudden turn. But we did get a scene that shows Kristoff's discomfort with royal stuff. When Anna sees the boys all dressed up for coronation (unconfirmed if that was her coronation or after), Kristoff tells Anna she gets this for one hour. Anna tells him that's ok as she prefers him in leather anyways. So Anna is aware that Kristoff would find formality a little difficult but accepts him and lets him be himself. It's a much better take on what the deleted scene showed I believe. I hope nothing breaks them up in the upcoming movies. Both Kristoff and Anna prove to each other that they love each other for who they are and what they would do for love.

But back to the Nøkk, that's an example of what the water horse helps you to achieve. That's why it's so full of rage to strangers or those who wish to ride it. But when Elsa meets Nøkk at first, he's like that because like the other spirits they were awoken and angry from the events of the past. Though Elsa didn't speak her heart out she was putting her heart out. She wanted to find answers about the past, about herself so she could free the forest and give Arendelle a future. Elsa's motives were clear. She was true to herself and that became determination and courage when she tried to fight/ tame the Nøkk. But finding her true self was yet to be discovered and that's where he led her too; the place of discoveries, Ahotohallan.

Frozen 2 - Elsa meets the Nøkk

“What about their parents? He killed them. He didn't save them”

Well let me address that here too. No the Nøkk didn't kill them. It was the dark sea that killed them. The Nøkk lived in the dark sea, the same way the earth giants live beside the river, but let's not forget that between the very moment the mist forged in the forest and when Elsa woke up, him alone with the other 3 spirits were asleep. But even if he was awake, calm or in rage I don't think he could affect the waves of the dark sea.. It was with Elsa's help that he was able to push back the water when it almost hit Arendelle.

Speaking of the dark sea...

Ever wondered why the dark sea was so rageful?

I think I figured it out. Crossing the dark sea by any kind of mobility, would get that person to discover Atohollan, the frozen river of memories. It's not because Ahotohallan fears power being taken or anything of a sort as I don't think its power can be taken. But rather that whoever enters Ahotohallan would not only not be able to stand the cold but if they did, they would do too far in and freeze like Elsa with no way of being saved. We all can walk on them but not go inside as it's much colder than the outside. No other spirit can enter Ahotohallan for that reason. Not the Nøkk, Bruni or the earth giants. Elsa being the only one who has the power of ice and snow can enter the glacier.

Why Elsa didn't let Anna and Olaf rage along with her to Ahotohallan

The temperature of Ahotohallan and the rageful waves of the dark sea are the reasons why Elsa didn't want Anna, Olaf or anyone if it were, to come along to work her to the dark sea. It could have killed Anna. Maybe it wouldn't exactly kill Olaf but Elsa knew something would be there to harm Olaf and that was his own death prior to her frozen one, and so she let Olaf, the same fuzzy silly happy snowman be with Anna who needs him the most. That's why she tells Anna “And I can't lose you too”.

Back to dark sea Vs Agnarr & Iduna

And those same reasons why Anna and Olaf were pushed away were sadly the reason why Agnarr and Iduna died that night they attempted to cross the sea. The moment Elsa saw her parents death she knew that the waves would be so heavy and didn't want the same to happen to Anna. She would never forgive herself if Anna didn't make it.

Elsa was able to cross the sea because she calmed and tamed the Nøkk. The Nøkk too and the other probably sensed Elsa as the spirit or someone like them seeing her powers so they had a sense of familiarity and immediate bond with her. No one else could have calmed and tamed the Nøkk or any other of the spirits but Elsa because of her powers.

The powerful Nøkk, when calm, is actually a Nøkk that leads you to honesty even though once you're in that situation with the water horse it's a do or die situation.

This is probably hands down my favorite set of Frozen 2 concept art. I love everything about it, I love the colors, I love the power in the poses, I love how each spirit seems to fade into the other.

I have always seen Elsa as Lightning from the FFXIII saga, because of the bond and struggles that the two of them had gone through with their younger sisters, but after the official Frozen II trailer revealed the Nokk for the first time, I began to see another common link between the two characters. By picturing the Nokk as the Eidolon Odin's gestalt-horse form. As well as the fact that both Elsa and Lightning had to gain their respect and prove their worthiness to them by facing them head on.

FROZEN // FROZEN 2: The duality of magic

An important detail about Elsa's powers in the first Frozen is how both Beaitiful and Dangerous they can be: during the course of the movie, Elsa reveals them accidentally, showing their worst side once they get out of control, but in the end, she is finally able to show their beauty to Arendelle.

That same dynamic is brought back always through Elsa in Frozen 2, because it's her side of the frachise which is dedicated to subverting the "Good Vs Evil" dynamic, the Spirits of the Enchanted Forest start as threats, enemies that Elsa's herself must battle and defeat. Once each Spirit is thamed, they all show their best side as peaceful beings, dedicated to harmony, and now balanced by the Fifth Spirit (Elsa).

Even King Agnarr tale of the Enchanted Forest is narrated by him in the same way Grand Pabbie will tell his vision about Elsa's powers: he first shows the beautiful side of magic, and then the dangerous one, and in both cases is a warning for poor little Elsa:

And if we consider that both warnings came the same night (as J Lee herself belives), then this parallel is probably even more important and deep than it's in this post.
