Abstract:“Black Swan” (2010), directed by Darren Aronofsky, is a psychological thriller that delves into the complex themes of identity and alienation through the journey of its protagonist, Nina Sayers. This paper explores how the film portrays Nina’s struggle with her identity as she strives for perfection in her ballet career, examining the psychological conflicts that arise from this pursuit. Utilizing psychoanalytic theory, particularly the concepts of the unconscious, repression, and the ego, this analysis seeks to illuminate how Nina’s experiences reflect broader societal pressures and the psychological ramifications of alienation in the modern world.
