Good vs. Bad is the most known struggle encountered in popculture, and real life. You can't even walk down the street without hearing people talking about how wrong something is, but what defines whats wrong or right? What defines whats bad or good?
Like Sirius Black once said,
"Besides, the world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters. We've all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are."
This is the best point anyone real, or fiction can make, we're all equal parts good and bad. Am I bad for reaching my toleration of annoying limit and mentally threatening people, or am I good for putting a smile on my face and working through the pain? The answers not obvious, it's never obvious.
Frozen is known for twisting Disney's reputation of fairytales, Prince Hans is very much like this quote from Taylor Swift, "When I was a little girl I used to read fairy tales. In fairy tales you meet Prince Charming and he's everything you ever wanted. In fairy tales the bad guy is very easy to spot. The bad guy is always wearing a black cape so you always know who he is. Then you Grow up and you realize that Prince Charming is not as easy to find as you. thought. You realize the bad guy is not wearing a black cape and he's not easy to spot; he's really funny, and he makes you laugh, and he has perfect. hair."
Both Hans and Taylor show that popculture is making the move to the gray area. That what looks good isn't always what many think of as good and the same goes for bad.
The timeless struggle will continue on, but the matters it covers will slowly shift to that of gray.
