Once the Inspector arrives he shows Birling that he isn't influenced by his status and connections. What sport does he refer to to show this:
'I don't play rugby' because influential men at the time did business deals on the rugby field and used these connections to avoid scandal and influence officials.
'I don't play tennis' because influential men at the time did business deals on the tennis court and used these connections to avoid scandal and influence officials.
'I don't play cricket' because influential men at the time did business deals on the cricket field and used these connections to avoid scandal and influence officials.

He describes Eva's death very bluntly 'burnt her......................., of course'
upside down
round and round
over and down
inside out
The Inspector goes about questioning the family to make them see they each have:
been right to justify their actions
responsibility for her death and therefore need to look after the working class and others like Eva Smith
responsibility for her death
responsibility for each other's actions
The inspector refuses to take Mr Birling's statement that he 'refused, of course' to a request for increased wages as inevitable. He asks:
'Is that so?'
'Tell me more'
'that seems understandable'
'Why?'
When Mr Birling tries to argue that you can't increase wages because they'd soon be asking for the earth. The Inspector criticises the way the middle class think they have a right to everything stating:
"It's better to ask for the earth than to take it."
'it's better to take the earth than to ask for it'
'it's better to ask for the earth than not try'
'it's better to take the earth than to suffer'
He makes Gerald admit to what he did, refusing to accept his waffling and attempts to evade any responsibility by stating 'but she became your..............................'
plaything
friend
loved one
mistress
With Mrs Birling he clarifies her unfair treatment of Eva Smith stating:
'you admit to being unkind to her'
'you admit to being angry with her'
'you admit to being prejudice against her case'
'you admit to being caring towards her'
The Inspector confronts Mr Birling arguing 'Public Men, Mr Birling, have responsibilities as well as privileges' through which he means:
People who are in influential positions need to look after those around them as well as take the perks of their position.
People in influential positions need to only take responsibility of themselves
People in influential positions have privileges and should share them out
People in influential positions are entitled to whatever they want
As the Inspector leaves he reminds them that they all helped to kill Eva and that they need to remember what they did. He uses what kind of language when he says 'we are all members of one body' and so what may this suggest?
socialism and so he is perhaps a symbol for a movement that believed that we need to work together to create a fairer society based on supporting those in most need.
capitalism and so he believes that we should not look after the working class, they need to make their own money and find a way to look after themselves.
religious and so he is perhaps a symbol for God or Christ, or at the least the voice of Christian morals, which people were more reliant on at the time.
As he leaves he states if we do not learn we will learn in 'fire and blood and anguish'. This could be what technique being used and refer to what?
Questioning which makes the audience think deeper about what they believe the message of the play is.
Dramatic Irony- the play was set before World War 1 but written after World War 2 so the audience will know we did not learn our lesson and we have therefore faced these things in the war as a result. Therefore they were more likely to have learnt his lessons on being responsible and looking after each other, particularly the most vulnerable.
Symbolism- these are symbols for the anger and hatred in the world at the time the play was set (1912) and so we know from his words that the poor people, like Eva, would suffer as a result of the actions of the selfish middle and upper classes.
Repetition to emphasise how unkind the world was to the lower classes at the time the play was both written (1912) and set (after World War Two). It shows little has changed.
Sheila comments that the Inspector somehow makes the family confess like he knows everything already. She states he:
'somehow sees you' as you are
'somehow knows you' inside out
'somehow orders you' to confess
'somehow makes you' confess
At the end of the play it is revealed that the Inspector is not an Inspector at all. All the family ignore the lessons he has taught except for the younger generation, such as Eric who realises 'He was our inspector alright'. Both Sheila and Eric say that the way the others brush it off:
frightens them, because they think their parents will get in to trouble for being prejudiced against the working class assuming they are all the same and not worthy of respect or care.
frightens them, because they realise he may come back again if they don't learn their lesson.
frightens them, because they are most spooked out by the way he seemed to know everything and then disappeared
frightens them, because the younger generation are most impressionable and learn their lesson that he comes to make them realise how badly they treat the working class and that they need to accept responsibility.
At the end of the play the phone rings to announce that an Inspector is coming to ask some questions about a girl who's died at the infirmary. Why does Priestley do this?
To warn us if we don't learn the lesson to treat the working class with more respect and that we need to accept responsibility for our actions against one another we will have to relive our actions again and again until we do accept responsibility. This is a buddist message.
To warn us if we don't learn the lesson to treat the working class with more respect and that we need to accept responsibility for our actions against one another we will have to relive our actions again and again until we do accept responsibility. This is a dangerous message.
To warn us if we don't learn the lesson to treat the working class with more respect and that we need to accept responsibility for our actions against one another we will have to relive our actions again and again until we do accept responsibility. This is a socialist message.
To warn us if we don't learn the lesson to treat the working class with more respect and that we need to accept responsibility for our actions against one another we will have to relive our actions again and again until we do accept responsibility. This is a capitalist message.
