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 Birling as a symbol of the outdated capitalist values that contributed to societal inequalities.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.

What is the name of the Inspector in an Inspector calls?
in my opinion, the inspector is JB Priestley himself because if you look outside the box(plot,storyline) it really has an inner message. this is why the inspector knows the future and the character's conscience because he controls the characters.-sorry, i talked a lot t's just we did a whole essay about this thing!-happy to help :)Inspector Goole -- who in fact is not an inspector -- is a strange character and we never really find out who he is. The name Goole is similar sounding to ghoul which then relates to ghost, which leaves you thinking that maybe he isnon human. But the questions Inspector Goole asks, you get the feeling he already knows the answer to them all. Each question he asks, it is as if he is informing them of their incorrect actions and he is almost like the conscience they should have but it has been blocked out, and it is now coming back to haunt them all.

Why did Priestly write An Inspector Calls?
This is in his perpective I am writing this to tell you why I wrote the play 'The inspector Calls'. I wrote this play to give points about things I think are wrong. I wrote the play in 1945 partially because the war had just ended and I set the play in 1912 because now compared to then was completely different. Part of the reason I wrote this play was to teach people that their everyday actions could have a very serious impact on others' life. For example with Sheila's jealousy, Sheila did not think about what her actions and did not think about what would happen to Eva Smith afterwards. If she knew that Eva Smith would die after the following events she would not have got her fired. I am showing that inconsiderate actions and decisions people can make without thinking can have very serious after effects. Also I was trying to show through this play that conservative people should be open to change and by demonstrating conservative people more clearly, people would realise how bad it can be. For example Sheila and Eric clearly show remorse for what they have done and are ready for change. But conservative Mr and Mrs Birling show no remorse for what has happened and are still trying to defend themselves and are more concerned about their own reputations than what happened to Eva Smith. They even laugh at the situation and think everything is fine and they should carry on as they were before. Even though Mr and Mrs Birling had just been taught a lesson. This was to teach people that being conservative can make people blind to the morals and by showing people it actually happening it creates a clearer moral that the audience can actually think about. Finally I wrote the play to make a point about how the upper class treated the lower class people, the upper class think that they are better than lower classes of people. I was trying to express that everyone should look after each other, to prevent cases of 'Eva Smith'. Also I was trying to show that high class people should look after the lower classes instead of looking down on them.
In An Inspector Calls why does act 1 end on a cliff hanger?
Because JB wanted you to read on and not get bored as younger people might get bored PLUS act one ends on a cliff hanger because JB wants you to try and predict what is going to happen in act 2 so you think about the book not just read it
What do yo think of Eric birling an inpsector calls?
"An Inspector Calls" is a thought-provoking play by J.B. Priestley that explores themes of social responsibility and the consequences of one's actions. Eric Birling is a complex character who symbolizes the younger generation's potential for change and growth. His behavior and actions throughout the play serve as a reflection of the moral decay present in the society Priestley criticizes.

What irony is shown in An Inspector Calls?
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.
Which character in the play 'An Inspector Calls' changes the most?
I think that Sheila changes the most because at the beginning of the playshes very spoilt and acts very childish. Her mum treats her as a little child. But at the end of the story Sheila is very grown up , and she has learnt a lesson and Mrs. Birling dosent treat her as a little kid anymore.
What did priestley say about his plays and the ideas they contain?
I think J.B. Priestly said that they come from a Socialist view, and he shows his feelings through the role of the Inspector. He did not agree with capatilism which is why he uses satirical techniques to ridicule Birling's ideas.
