The beast is throwing her around, holding her, grabbing her. Nina never makes eye contact with the beast, the beast looks like a representation of darkness pulling her into it. He’s handling her in a violent way and she’s trying to get away. When he let’s go of her, she’s left devastated dancing in suffering. It’s the end of the scene, she’s dancing like a swan until everything goes to black. Which is also how the ballet ends, she dances like a swan but then kills herself. This scene ends with the dance, before the white swan
