An Inspector Calls :: English Literature

An Inspector Calls Set In 1912 written 1940s but a play for themillennium. What important issues are embossed by the play? How doesPriestly use the Settings, Characters and Events to convey?Ive been studying the play An Inspector Calls that is concernedabout problems and issues of year 1912 and used the characters of theplay to allow his feelings of the cartridge clip to be put across to others, in1912 and now. Many of the problems faced then are dormant well-nigh todayand give be probably will be in years to come, despite him trying tomake changes in the way we think. However the play was wrote in 1946,just after the Second military personnel War, he was trying to make people aware ofwhat was going on and how this shouldnt happen again.

The poor were manipulated by the rich into what theywanted, for instance take the Worl d War Two Germany the overmuch stronger,powerful and richer country, against poorer countries such as Polandand there was many more countries in similar situations.

One Eva smith has gone but there are millions andmillions of Eva Smith and John Smiths still left with us.There were always people there to look after or at least realise aboutthe Eva Smiths in the world. In a world scale other countries cameinto help the poorer countries but notice its always too late in away, people declare already been hurt, In the play there was Sheila andEric Birling and of course the inspector. A more recent event likethis took place in 1982, the Falklands. Argentina invaded the Islands, thought process nothing would be done because theyre so small. The Britishadvanced to help their fellow men, and stopped the confli ct in itstracks. They made Argentina pay for it, in the death of their own men,then they will be taught in fire and blood and anguish, TheInspector (page 56). I think the ideas of Priestly were heard by thepeople, but still have not embedded themselves into todays societyNonsense Youll have a good laugh over it yet.Weve been had, thats all. Birling(both p70)This is only Mr Birlings general opinion but this could also be the
