![]() ![]() Indigenous people have often times been erased from history, and this book seems to comment on this. She considers the black swan to be singing its dying song, much like herself, and so the black swan is a metaphor for her own despair. Alternatively, the black swan that Oblivia sees whilst she is locked up in her apartment tower by Warren, is a parallel to her own life. For Bella Donna, the white swan she saw when she was fleeing her native country, becomes a symbol for hope that there is still some beauty and truth left in the world. The swans are a prominent theme running throughout the book and mean different things to different characters.
