• Histeria epilepsy - confused sense of reality, blackouts (Nina's diagnosis)
• White swan, black swan - split personality
• White swan/superego - black swan/ID, animilistic nature released. Death of her superego, innocence.
• Thomas - father surrogate, object of Nina's niave, psychosexual attachment.
• Mirrors and photos are representations of Nina
• Mother lives her life through daughter - level of hatred of her daughter, competing with her daughter.
• As Nina's mental state breaks down she damages herself through flesh and bone - animilistic desires internalisig. He has to do this as a release. The penetration as a way to get something out of her.
• Nina's body isn't actually hers. Seem less link between dance and music. What she suffers to get to that point, her shoes, restricting foods etc.
• Thomas is fulfilling his expression by controlling Nina.
• Lily is already the black swan (sexualised), tanned skin compared to Nina who is pale and inocent. Nina wants to be her (queer gaze). Nina is turning into Lily, actually stabs herself.
