The Big White

The Big White elicits a complex mix of emotions, primarily driven by its dark comedic tone and escalating criminal absurdity. Humor is paramount, stemming from the ineptitude of the hitmen and the farcical situations Paul finds himself in. This is closely followed by Anxiety and Anticipation, as the audience is constantly on edge wondering if Paul will be caught, if Margaret will be safe, and how the various plot threads will intertwine. Empathy is felt for Paul's desperate circumstances and his love for his mentally ill wife, while Sadness underscores his initial plight. Surprise is a key element, particularly with the unexpected return of Raymond, leading to further Confusion and comedic chaos.
