What does "Black Swan Deal" with? (Spoiler alert!)
Personally i see themes such as
" The expectation of woman in soceity "
The protaganist is driven by the aim to become perfect. The pressure of trying to live up to the perfect image was far to difficult. This results in her demise. The protaganists fatail wound was inflicted upon herself by herself using a shard of mirror. I read this as symbolic of how her body image and trying to live up to it has ended up killing her.
The protaganist also is dealing with self harm by scratching herself and anorexia.
In the beginning of the movie Natalie Portmans charachter starts seeing dopelgangers of herself everywhere she goes. There is a myth asociated with
"Doppelgängers often are perceived as a sinister form of bilocation and are regarded by some to be harbingers of bad luck. In some traditions, a doppelgänger seen by a person's friends or relatives portends illness or danger, while seeing one's own doppelgänger is said to be an omen of death."

The movie focuses in heavily on the idea of image and warping and distorting self images using reflections and paintings.
Another theme of the movie is her sexual awakening.
