MAELSTROM

I wanted to get the exact definition of the word Maelstrom, as Nina uses it when she returns to the estate and tells Konstantin, "We've been drawn into this maelstrom, both of us."

This is an important line, as it signifies how both struggling artists were aimultaneously dealing with paralleling obstacles in pursuing their careers, and just as worse, handling unrequited love. Their only life's passions were ripped away from them, and this line incapsulates the reason for their discpositions in a beautiful way.

mealstrom: a large, powerful or violent whirpool.
