Odette Symbolism In Black Swan

Scott Tibbs proudly served in the United States Marine Corps from 1972 - 1976. After completing his military obligation, this Viet Nam Era Veteran stayed in touch with a buddy from Essex, New York. The two former Jarhead's had long ago decided to go into business together and after his buddy was discharged, Scott moved to Essex to pursue their plans. However after a few months of living there, a death in the family caused Scott to return to Southern California where he still resides today. He has written numerous articles for various websites and is now actively writing fiction stories.

The significance of her being the youngest gives her the attitude of being careless. Nina sees how Leila acts towards their parents and believes Leila shouldn’t be listening to them. For instance, when Nina and Leila were discussing about how Mason and Leila should get married, Nina insisted to, “Do it the way you want” (Fae Myenne Ng 31). Nina has the urge to not listen to her parents because she feels that she doesn’t need them in her life. Her carless attitude results in her actions of traveling to New York.

On the exposed hillsides of the Tsagayan Formation located in Kundur, Russia, a team of paleontologists discovered an almost complete skeleton of a hadrosaurid showing an extensive infection spreading into the shoulders, seemingly stemming from a repaired, but misfigured, fracture in her left front leg. Another piece left behind shows faintly scarred over skin if looked at closely. Surrounding fossils include turtles, protoceratops, and crocodiles. This specimen, discovered to be an Olorotitan, which means giant swan, named so for their longer than normal necks like that of a swan, would be named Odette, from the ballet Swan Lake. This discovery of this sample, proved to have a traumatic lifestyle as a juvenile until their death, allows us

     The stage props and the lighting seemed to be different in each performance. Swan Lake had a backdrop of a lake. This was key for this dance. When the girls would turn back and forth from swans they would show a group of swans swim across the lake. This was very important for the audience to understand this very important transformation. The lighting in

In the film, Black Swan, we saw how the fear of failure greatly affects a person and could push them to the breaking point. We saw how NIna was determined to achieve the role that she had worked towards for so long. When she achieved the part she is faced with lots of negativity from her coach and from herself, despite having a passion for dance and being

The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) fact sheet (2014) explains the findings of the research completed by The Bureau of Labor Statistics, leading one that is reading the fact sheet to realize that the nursing shortage will only worsen in the coming years. First and foremost, the number of nurses that are reaching retirement age, and the number of nurses that are leaving the profession is proven to have a drastic impact on the profession; secondly the number of students enrolling in nursing classes do not match the demand that for upcoming years. Due to the lack of Master and Doctoral prepared nurses, many students are denied entry into nurse training, which is noted and continues to be one of the most important factors of

The magnificent "obsession" can be one of two things. It can be a thing of beauty, a gifted ballet dancer gracefully contorting their body to a harmonious pace. But it can also be a thing of darkness, a face of white like Bergman's vision of Death with red, piercing eyes included. Director Darren Aronofsky is no stranger to telling tales of obsession. In fact, most of his films deal with the dueling sides of that fiery driven coin. With Black Swan, his latest film, he once again delves into the mental state of one who is obsessed, and, once again, he creates a thing of visionary brilliance. Black Swan, slow burn though it may be in the former half, quickly transcends both its lead character and her story

Nina has stolen many items from another dancer in her company, Beth, who she idolizes. This is a form of kleptomania; the impulsive need to steal even though often times they have more than enough money to pay for the things that they steal (Comer, 2011). This is a projection of Nina’s id impulses; she believes that if she takes these items from Beth then she might be like her.

Throughout the movie, Nina was seen suffers from numerous of symptoms which seems abnormal. While her anxiety is clearly expressed, obsessive compulsive disorder may be the prominent disorder in which Nina was experiencing. First of all, she continuously receives criticism that she was trying to be “perfect” from her instructor (Thomas) during the practices. As we know, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder or OCD associates psychological distress

She struggles to make decisions for herself, so much so that she avoids her love in order to follow the orders of her father. She never truly acts upon her own impetus. This lack of initiative is due to the society in which she was raised. She is not allowed to be independent, or showcase her true thoughts. Because of this, society has forced her to act in a passive manner.

As a result, Nina displays many symptoms of obsessive compulsive personality disorder, especially in her dancing, in which she wants every move to be perfect. Erica also becomes jealous and vindictive of her daughter’s success. In one instance, on the night that Nina gets the lead role, Erica buys her a large celebratory cake. Nina shows symptoms of anorexia and bulimia nervosa so the thought of such a fatty food repulses her. After she refuses to eat the cake, her mother threatens to throw out the entire cake in order to manipulate her into having some.

After short shot/reverse shot with Thomas, Nina tilts her head and stares right into the camera, making the audience feel she’s looking at us, breaking the fourth wall. Finally, the big close-up of Nina’s face fades out to white. Note how the editors chose white instead of black, even though the name of the movie is “Black Swan,” I believe they wanted to emphasized her white

All of this then ensues but with a twist. The curse kicks in on the princesses 16th birthday when she pricks her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel. The princess wakes up by the kiss, and immediately marries the prince. Although the prince keeps his new wife and their children a secret until he must take over his fathers kingdom.

In the beginning of the film, Nina was depicted as an average, normal person living in New York that yet lacked the freedom to express herself as a sexually free, young woman due to her mother’s controlling behavior. When she wins the coveted Swan Queen role, the feeling of immense pressure that comes with the role causes Nina to lose her tenuous grip on reality and descend into a living nightmare. For example, she experiences symptoms such as interpreting normal behavior from Lily as an attack because of Nina’s jealousy toward Lily’s effortless embodiment of the Black Swan (Schacter, Gilbert, Wegner, & Nock, 2014). Nina’s attention to negative behavior to Lily is a result of her own imagination – she starts conceiving events that did not happen such as a lesbian fling with Lily and her constant attempts to sabotage Nina’s ability to perform as the Swan Queen. In addition, she suffers through hallucinatory episodes that involve bodily horror, such as her skin tearing off her body and the appearance of an evil twin, every time she reaches a step closer to her full transformation of the Swan Queen.
