How do the characters from An Inspector Calls compare to the Seven Deadly Sins?

All of the characters represent at least one of the deadly sins, some representing more than one.

Mr Birling represents greed because he sacked one of his employees, Eva Smith, just to save a few shillings. He also represents pride because he didn't want his name and business being tarnished because of one girl.

Mrs Birling represents wrath as she is angry at Eva Smith for using her name, in what she thinks is a spiteful way. She could also represent pride as she is proud of her name and does not want anyone else using her name without good reason.

Sheila represents envy as she is angry at Eva Smith for laughing at her, and she represents wrath for the same reason.

Eric represents gluttony as he has become an alcoholic; he is drinking far too much. He also represents sloth as he does not work for the money he gives to Eva Smith, and instead resorts to stealing it from his father's business.

Gerald represents lust as he fancies Eva Smith, and although he is in a relationship with Sheila, he still embarks on a sexual relationship with another woman, being Eva Smith.

Therefore you can see the connection between the characters in An Inspector Calls and the Seven Deadly Sins.
