Fandom 50 (40): Swan Lake - The Stranger
Jun. 14th, 2024 04:46 pmIf the Swan is shown all in white, then the Stranger has to be completely clothed in black. He makes a dramatic entrance into the ball, and he becomes the centre of attention. And from now on, tragedy is inevitable.
As soon as the Stranger entered the ballroom the Prince knew him to be the Swan, his Swan. And yet there was no sign of recognition on his face; if anything, his glance was contemptuous as he swept past him and looked at the others who were gathered there. The Prince watched as the Stranger strode onto the dance floor, followed by many of the men, and selected a partner from amongst the women. The Prince wanted to protest, but the man’s arrogance intimidated him and he watched from the shadows, as the Stranger dominated the dance and the dancers.
