It is written by J B Priestly after world war 2 set in 1912, the audience of the time would know about the war and it is seen as ironic as the viewers of the time know it was people like Mr Birling who caused the war.
there are many, but the main ones would be: - Mr.Birling's mention of the 'unsinkable titanic' which is ironic because it is the exact opposite to his prediction - also birling's view on the world's development and lack of time for war, this is ironic because straight after this is the 1st world war followed by the second. - when the inspector rings the doorbell of the house, birling is explaining to Eric and Gerald about responsibility ; the inspector explains the moral meaning of responsibility and shows Mr.Birling he is wrong . this is all i can i think of now, hope it helped ;) there is also a lot of dramatic irony used in this play, for example the second world war and the "unsinkable titanic" alongside the ending where the inspector leaves, they discover hes a fake, go back to normal the get a call explaining that a girl had just died, this is irony as it brings out their true colours, and show their reaction/releif when the inspector is found to be a fake, then theyre back to where they started. it's ironic because they discover no girl had died, they celebrate, then the real Eva Smith does die.
J.B Priestly uses dramatic devices in several ways throughout act 1 of an inspector calls. most of these points i have found in act 1, are of the obvious, however they require depths of analysis, to reach the full potential whilst answering this question. we are doing this as an essay question at the moment in english.
In 1945, the audience would likely view Mr. Birling as a symbol of the outdated capitalist values that contributed to societal inequalities. His arrogance, self-interest, and dismissive attitude toward social responsibility would be seen as morally reprehensible, especially in the aftermath of World War II, when collective welfare became more prominent. Additionally, his predictions about the future would be perceived as foolish, contrasting sharply with the reality of a changing world. Overall, he would evoke disdain for his inability to recognize the need for social change.
J.B. Priestley set "An Inspector Calls" in the past (1912) to highlight the contrasts between pre-World War I society and the post-war world, emphasizing the consequences of individual actions on a collective level. This setting allowed him to explore themes of class, responsibility, and social change in a thought-provoking manner.
Inspector Goole is a strange character. The actual character is made out to be like a ghost. He seems to be all-knowing and his name can be broken down to prove this. Inspecter ; Spectre. Goole ; Ghoul. The Inspector is used by J.B. Priestly to express his socialist views on society. The inspector is made out to be very mysterious. J.B. Priestly's knowlege of the character's "future" enables him to make the capitalist Birlings seem wrong and arrogant by making them certain that things like the war will not happen. The inspector, however, representing socialism is making out that they will definatly happen. This makes socialism seem to be "the truth". The inspector also seems to give them a second chance, giving the point that socialism forgives whereas capitalism does not(Mr. Birling firing Eva Smith). He gives them this second chance by fore warning them of the real inspector and allowing them to feel remorse, rather than simply being questioned about her suicide.
Which gulf war? There were three of them.
I can't answer this sorry
In "An Inspector Calls," J.B. Priestley presents responsibility as a collective societal obligation rather than an individual concern. Through the character of Inspector Goole, he emphasizes that the actions of one person can profoundly affect others, highlighting the interconnectedness of society. Each character's reluctance to accept their share of responsibility underscores the moral failures of the upper class, ultimately suggesting that awareness and accountability are essential for social progress. Priestley uses this theme to advocate for social responsibility and the need for change in post-war Britain.
The play was written and first performed around 1945 / 1946. The action of the play takes place in 1912 and has references to things which were then in the future but which the 1945 audience knew had happened - World War I and the sinking of the Titanic.
Both H.G. Wells and J.B. Priestley were influential British writers from the 20th century who made significant contributions to literature. However, there is no direct connection between the two in terms of collaboration or shared works. "An Inspector Calls" is a play written by J.B. Priestley, while H.G. Wells is best known for his science fiction novels like "The War of the Worlds" and "The Time Machine."
