White Timeline and Summary

  • After Black saves White from suicide, White arrives at Black's apartment (just before the play begins).
  • Although White keeps trying to leave, he lets Black talk to him and argue with him. White's willing to ask questions and gets Black to tell him a jailhouse story.
  • He accepts coffee from Black, and also joins him in eating dinner—which he really enjoys.
  • White starts defending his worldview more aggressively, and when Black runs out of arguments, White triumphantly praises death and the logic of suicide.
  • Finally, with no more options, Black releases White from the apartment. White walks out, apparently gearing up for another suicide attempt.
