Summary Black Swan and Abnormal psychology
Darren Aronofsky’s film, Black Swan, features a ballet dancer who has transformed from a controlled, innocent, perfect White Swan to an impulsive, seductive, and agitated Black Swan during the film. The film articulates Nina Sayer (Natalie Portman) as a ballet dancer who desires to become a successful leading dancer in the competitive world of ballet. Nina displays a number of symptoms that could be diagnosed with different disorders. In this paper, Nina’s abnormal behavior will be examined by her symptoms and other relevant components will be discussed. This paper will particularly focus on Nina’s alteration in mood and affect, behavior, thinking, and cognition. Nina’s abnormal behaviors such as eating disorder, schizophrenia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, will be discussed in order to diagnose her symptoms.
