But just remember this. One Eva Smith has
gone - but there are millions and millions and millions of Eva Smiths and John
Smiths left with us, with their lives, their hopes and fears, their suffering
and a chance of happiness, all intertwined with our lives and what we think and
say and do. We don't live alone. We are members of one body. We are responsible
for each other. And I tell you that the time will soon come when, if men will
not learn that lesson, then they will be taught in fire and blood and anguish. Good night
In the final speech J.B Priestly has used the Inspector to show his socialist views during the time period. This is shown by “millions and millions and millions”. The repetition of the word “millions” suggests there are loads of vulnerable people out there beyond the Birling’s class. It is suggesting that the Birling’s should not be so self contained and to look after people how are less fortunate then themselves. This can link to the names used further on in the speech. “Eva Smiths and John Smiths.” These names are seen as common names in society, which shows that they are lower class as there are more people like them. The simplicity of their names could link to the idea of the play being a morality play. This is because the audience can relate to the character as they can see part of there selves in them.
ReplyDeleteThe Inspector suggests that he doesn’t believe in class division. “We are members of one body.” This metaphor suggests that class division should not exist as everyone in the world s one society. It also has connotations of a human body, because if one part of the body, such as the heart, was to stop working the whole of the body would shut down. This links to the Birling’s because if one of them stops caring about the lower class others will follow. The pronoun “we” suggests that the Inspector is addressing everyone as they are all guilty, as it suggests a collection f people, which may stretch further than the Birling’s to the whole upper class. This also links to socialist views as he is showing the upper class that everyone is the same.
In the speech the Inspector could be represented as the devil. “They will be taught in fire and blood and anguish.” The adjectives “fire”, “blood” and “anguish” all have religious connotations. This is because these words are used to describe hell. It suggests that the Inspector is threatening them. This is because if they do not learn from their mistakes that is where they will end up in later life.
The adjectives could also have an alternative meaning by describing World War 2, which suggests that the Inspector is foreshadowing what will happen. This is because during this time people from different classes were bought together and saw the end of class divisions. He is teaching the Birling’s they should change now to perhaps prepare them for later on in their life.
In contrast the Inspector could be represented as God-like. “I can tell you that the time will soon come.” This suggests that he can see into the future and perhaps decide on people’s fate. This is what God is presented as doing for punishing those who have sinned. This links to earlier on in the play as all of the characters have committed one of the seven deadly sins. This may suggest that the Inspector is omnipotent as he knows what will happen to the Birling’s (and other upper class families) if they don’t change their ways. This can be seen as one of the teachings in the play, perhaps scaring the upper class into being caring and supportive to the lower class in fear if they do not they will be send to hell.
Irony is present in the final speech, this occurs when the Inspector says “Good night.” This is ironic because he has made the Birling family fall apart by making them reveal their dark secret in connection with Eva Smith. He has just revealed what the future might in tail if they don’t change their ways and is leaving them on a polite note to make up their minds without forcing the decision even though they will realise that the Inspector was right about treating other classes with respect.
Great analysis! Focus on embedding more word level quotes
Deletei agree
DeleteThankyou so much! This was so helpful
DeleteThis was complete Boloks it was SHOCKING!!!!
Deletebolocks* you mean
Deletethanks so much i need this for my test real soon
Deletethis has been copied from another page i just looked at
DeleteIn the final speech the Inspector is shown by J.B Priestley as a strong socialist and Priestley emphasises his socialist views using him. When it says "We are responsible for each other" it tells us he believes in a fair society which cares for one another, looking after not only themselves but others around them. The use of the pronoun "We" suggests the inspector wants unity and togetherness within the family and show that they are all slightly responsible for Eva's death. He may want them to fix things by helping and showing more respect to the working class, not taking advantage with the power the upper class have. Throughout the speech he repeats 'we' a lot to show they are all in this together and need each other to succeed in life, everyone is involved.
ReplyDeleteThe inspector may also be shown as a teacher of the family when he says "If men will not learn a lesson, then they will be taught". The use of the verb "taught" could represent the inspector as some sort of teacher who has 'taught' the family to change their ways. As well as that the noun "lesson" shows the inspector has given them and morale 'lesson' in which they have learnt a great deal about themselves and Eva. Also it could mean he is a messenger sent by God to teach the family the right way to act like Jesus in the Bible.
Similarly the Inspector is presented as God-like during the speech for example when the inspector says "I tell you that the time will soon come". This suggests he can tell the future with the adverb "soon" meaning he is omnipotent and knows that there are consequences in the near future. It makes him mysterious as he doesn't include the exact time it will happen but is threatening it will happen 'soon' therefore keeping it a secret. Maybe he changes their fate depending on what each of them do to amend what the family did wrong in the past, choosing their fate like the power that God has.
As well as that the speech includes different religious connotations such as when it says "fire, blood and anguish". The rule of 3 connotates the imagery of hell signifying he will send the family to hell if they do not change, linking to the theme of God. It could be the Karma they endure for the pain and suffering caused to Eva. On the other hand the nouns could represent death and destruction which is a consequence of war. This links to World War 2 which happens in the future because it left Britain in 'anguish' due to destruction and deaths of British people. It creates dramatic irony as the play was written after the war so we know that the war will happen so the inspector is hinting he knows if things don't change war will happen as a consequence, linking to him being omnipotent.
The speech shows contrast in the lives of the people, "hopes and fears". The juxtaposition shows the contrasting ideas and emotions Priestley creates in the story. In contrast it may represent the huge gap and difference in class represented by Eva and the Birlings. The inspector brings up these problems throughout in order to makes things better so what happened to Eva doesn't happen again.
Excellent use of language analysis..don't forget to comment on poetic devices
DeleteThe inspector portrays Priestley's socialist view, "If men will not learn that lesson, then they will be taught in fire and blood." The use of the verb 'taught' presents a theme of morality in the play as it suggests that those who don't change their ways will cause war and destruction. After the play is set, the 1st world war broke out where millions were killed fighting for their countries because people failed to protect society, this creates dramatic irony as the audience can relate to what happened afterwards and they know more than the characters do, making them want to change and make a 'better society'.
ReplyDeleteThe Inspector shows how limited society is if people don't accept one another, "We don't live alone. We are members of one body." The use of short sentences symbolises the limit of society, which could still be developed by everyone accepting each other, just as the sentence can be developed. The use of personal pronoun 'we' makes the audience and other characters connect with society as the Inspector says that society is everyone who are all in 'one body'.
Priestley presents society as being one single important thing in life, "but just remember this." The use of the adverb 'just' makes the topic of society the only thing that the Inspector wants the Birlings to think about so they don't concentrate on their business or personal life, just society. The adverb also makes the sentence seem like an imperative, so the Inspector is telling them that they must focus on society.
Additionally, the Inspector is presented to have religious connotations, "all intertwined with our lives and what we think and say and do." This rule of 3 presents a view of what God can do and what he can do in order to protect people. This could also show that as it has religious connotations, a good society is like being in heaven. This would mean that people would have to fulfil the 10 commandments, including 'love thy neighbour', in order to get there, symbolising that people need to trust and respect each other in order to create an idillic society.
Although the inspector is someone who is supposedly supposed to be drawing conclusions from evidence for a law, the final speech has a lack of law vocabulary and terminology- in its place is socialist ideals. This is very important as it gives us an understanding of who the inspector is. "good night," shows us that the inspector probably isn't an inspector as he is keen to go and doesn't really say 'thank you for your time', or 'thank you for helping with my enquiries,' like a proper inspector would be very likely to do.
Good ideas..make sure you are looking at word level quotes too
DeleteThe Final Speech- Rachel Jones
ReplyDeleteDuring the Inspector’s final speech Priestly is attempting to convey a moral message to the audience. He repeatedly uses the pronoun ‘we’ to create a feeling of togetherness and community, suggesting that ‘we’ all bare a responsibility for society and those in it. Through this we can see Priestly's own political views of socialism and the concept of a society in which everyone has more equal opportunities and support from the Government. Furthermore he idea of togetherness is supported by the metaphor, ‘we are members of one body’, suggesting all class depends on each other.
The Inspector is presented as an omnipotent being of great authority, ‘and I tell you that the time will soon come’. The modal verb ‘will’ in this sentence causes it to be in the future tense. As a result it creates an impression that the Inspector knows what happen later, making him appear almost God-like or sent to warn the Birmlings about what will happen in the future if they do not change their ways. This idea of beings sent to forewarn others is seen in other works of literature like Charles Dickens a Christmas Carol. Additionally dramatic irony is also used; the audience knows that what he is referring to is the First World War while the characters do not.
The Inspectors speech has strong links to religion, like the seven deadly sins specifically greed, ‘we don’t live alone’. This short sentence implies the characters cannot be just concern with their own lives and exist in solitude but should live with others in mind. The inspector warns the characters what will happen if they don’t learn, ‘they will be taught in fire and blood and anguish.’ The phrase ‘fire and blood’ has a negative connotation of violence and could create an image of hell in the reader’s minds. This religious imagery causes the inspector to appear almost angelic as he is trying to help them avoid this fate.
Priestly emphasizes the amount of people who are in poverty and dependent on the good-will rich, ‘there are millions and millions and millions of Eva Smiths and John Smiths’. The noun ‘millions’ is repeated three times making it seem never ending. Eva Smith is representative of the lower class. Priestly uses the common surname ‘Smith’ to symbolize a wider group of people causing the audience, who have empathized with her through the other characters memories, to feel guilt for the situation that the lower class are in.
At the end of the speech the Inspector ends it with the short sentence ‘Good night.’ This produces a feeling of finality leaving the audience with something to think about.
Excellent analysis of sentence structure..look at the political implications too.
DeleteHarrop how may times did you comment, u are so shank u sand snigger
DeleteDuring the final speech the inspector shows his omnipotence over the family by predicting the future. "I tell you that..." shows him predicting what we happen and gives the inspector God-like qualities, as if he can control what is going on. The use of 'tell' hints that the future is already set and the inspector knows it making him seem even more powerful during this particular part of the novel.
ReplyDeleteAlso the inspector could be shown to have a sarcastic and spiteful tone to speech when he says "Good night.". Firstly the short sentence is very blunt and creates tension as the inspector leaves, however the noun "good" is ironic as the family were having a good night before the inspector arrived and Mr Birling made it clear they are no longer feeling the same earlier in the act. This makes the inspector seem quite sarcastic and possibly angered by the Birling family due to they're anti-socialist views.
The inspector shows his socialist views when he says "We are members of one body. The noun "members" creates a feel that everyone is equal as this has no relation to inequality or classes and the use of the pronoun "we" once again shows the audience and the family that we are all one and should be valued equally by the fact that everyone addressed the same by the inspector.
Lastly we see "fire" and "blood" in one of the last sentences which have connotations of death, pain and suffering which ironically Eva Smith had to go through. This could show the inspector to be a type of messenger of bearer of a warning that blood and fire will appear if this suffering continues. In addition this could be J.B. Priestly showing his prediction of war in the novel as "blood" and "fire" are both linked to war.
Good word level analysis, look at other meanings of 'fire' like hell....
DeleteThe inspector has very strong socialist views which goes against the opinions of the communist views of the birling family, "We are members of one body." the personal pronoun 'we' is repeated throughout the speach, the inspector uses this to unify everyone who shares his socialist views and ensure everyone feels equal as he doesnt believe in class divisions. The inspector is implying his socialist views as he says we are all 'one body' so everyone should be equal.
ReplyDeleteAdditionally in the Inspector's final speach he uses contrasting pairs through it "their suffering and a chance of happiness." these juxtapositions convey that the Inspector's socialist views will provide people with happiness and the Birling's communist views almost garuntee suffering to be caused, the Ispector's speach makes socialism come across as the correct views for people to be happy.
The Inspector is viewed as a dominant characters who comes across as mystery at times "then they will be taught in fire and blood and anguish." This is dramatic irony as we know there is war coming soon however when the book was set the characters would be unaware of the tragic events taking place soon, the Inspector almost knows a war is coming as 'blood and anguish' is associated with war, this gives off the impression that the Inpector has super human features as he is suggesting that there will be a war soon and he is correct. These powers are almost god like therefore the audience view him as a bold character in control of the situation and the birling family in the same way God is in control of the world and all humans. However the adjectives 'blood and anguish' could show the Inspectors darker and more destructive side that he keeps hidden but subtly drop in hints to be intimidating and remain in control.
Finally as the Inspector exits the room he uses a very sarcastic tone "good night." the night has almost been the opposite of good as his entrance has caused disruption and grief upon the Birling family, as he says 'good night' this implies he isnt slightly bothered about the misery he has caused in the birling family and shows no sign of guilt of his bold actions.
Good word level analysis, try to pick apart the connotations of certain words.
DeleteIn the inspector's final speech Priestly inputs his own socialist views; how even the lower class are human and are in the lives of the rich more than they think. "We are members of one body" The pronoun "We" is used to show that the inspector feels and wants the family to acknowledge that they are part of a society (the "one body")if they like it or not and that they are on the same level as the Inspector and even the poor. However another connotation of this is that Priestly want to captivate the audience and to bring them into the play by using the pronoun, as it makes them reflect on their lives and how they treat the poor and other people, this gives the play a sense of morality.
ReplyDeleteLinking to the sense of morality Priestly really makes the audience think about how they act and feel towards other people. "Eva Smiths and John Smiths" The Noun Smith is used as it is a very common name when the play was set, when the play was publish and even now. This could suggest that Priestly used this name to carry on the morality theme as when people read this they will think of a smith that they are likely to know and therefore bringing the play closer to the audience, which in turn will make them more likely to reflect on there lives and accept Priestley socialist views.
Priestly highlights the severity of the situation and exaggerates to capture the audience to the inspectors cause. "but there are millions and millions and millions" the repetition of millions is used to exaggerate the fact that there are many people like Eva smith out there. This could connote that the Inspector want the family to realise that there are still others out there in which can be helped and that they will end up like Eva if the family and others like them carry on being ignorant of there wrong doings to these people. Also the repetition could be used to guilt the family into changing there ways and actually helping these needy people, accepting them into there society and not just seeing them as another class.
The inspector tries to teach the family a lesson and to educate them on there ignorant views. "We don't live alone." This suggests that the inspector is trying to tell the family to escape there bubble of the higher rich class and to realise that they are all in one big community in which no one is on there own or out side this society.
The inspector is portrayed as god-like however with inner qualities of Satan. "the time will soon come" This makes the inspector seem omniscient this is a large quality of a god as it shows that he can see the future."will be taught in fire and blood and anguish." This however is could suggest that the inspector can predict the future but he mentions blood, fire and anguish which are all linked to the devil and hell, this could also be seen as a threat which would juxtapose his god like qualities. On the other hand Priestly might have put this in to put forward his views that a world that carried on with out any socialist input would be like hell.
Great understanding of context, make sure you look at the impact of sentence structure too.
DeleteIn the final speech, the Inspector presents Priestley’s socialist views, where he says “Eva Smiths and John Smiths”. The commonness of these names represents the wider society, but particularly the working class. Throughout the novel, the characters have learnt to show empathy towards Eva Smith, so by turning her name into a plural makes the characters and audience think about how there are many more people in society like her.
ReplyDeleteThe Inspector is also portrayed as a strong character as he is not afraid to express his opinions, even if they clash with everyone else’s opinions, “hopes and fears”. Priestley uses juxtaposition here as two opposing ideas are in the same phrase. It could show how the Inspector’s views and Birling’s view clash, but by putting them together could show Priestley’s idealistic society where differences can be put aside.
The Inspector shows communist views, “We are members of one body.” The ‘body’ represents society, and also suggests interdependence between the classes. It is presented like an actual human body, as different body parts work together to carry out functions and if one part stops working, the whole body will stop working. The pronoun “we” shows that the Inspector believes in community and working together. The working class depends on the upper class for jobs to earn an income, and the upper class depends on the working class to carry out jobs for their businesses to function, and this reflects Priestley’s socialist views as he thinks the upper class should work with the working class rather than mock them.
Omnipotence of the Inspector is shown, “I tell you that the time will soon come when, if men will not learn that lesson...anguish”. The certainty of the Inspector here implies that he knows more than everyone expects and even makes him seem God-like as he knows what is going to happen in the future. Dramatic irony is also used here because it foreshadows the war which takes place later on as the lesson were not learnt, which the audience knows, but the characters do not.
Finally, the Inspector ends on a blunt note, “Good night.” This is slightly ironic as he doesn’t actually wish the family well. The openness of his exit also allows the other characters and the audience to think about what he has just talked about. It also allows the characters to reflect on the vulnerability of the working class as “Good night” is a phrase which is regularly said, so this type of case could be regular for the Inspector, which emphasises how many tragic deaths of working class citizens occurred at that time.
Great analysis of the metaphor 'body,' look at topic sentences and make sure they are linked to the Inspector and who he is.
DeletePriestley uses the inspectors final speech to portray his political views and tells the other characters and audience how he feels during the play. “We don't live alone” This reminds me of a political speech, as if a leader is conveying his political and personal views to their party. This could show that the Inspector has taken over Priestley’s part in the play, linking to the radio-show that Priestley took part in and the characters must be there to learn from these views and from the Inspector as a different political leader.
ReplyDeletePriestley uses juxtaposition to show the contrast towards society. The Inspector, shows to the other characters that they need to learn from their mistakes. The contrasting phrase “hopes and fears” reminds me of the two different classes in society. The 'lower class' would be hoping for the better in the future and the 'upper class' may be fearing the worst for the future. This could show that the inspector is trying to tell the other characters that the class division will get better, and they will both meet in the middle, forewarning the Birling's that they need to make a change.
Priestley uses irony in the inspector's final speech to show that both classes will end up with out a segregation. “We are the members of one body”. This uses irony, because in the world war that occurred shortly after when the play was set, due to the fact that each person had to work together in defence to protect society. This is also teaching the Birling's that everyone in society is the same; the upper class would expect the lower class to protect them from the war, and they, therefore had to protect and fight for the lower class instead of fighting for the segregation as well.
The Inspector uses his final speech to prove that there will no longer be positive relationships between them and their family members. At the very end of his speech, the Inspector states “Good night.” This shows us that he has created a large problem through out the family. Their evenings have gone through a large contrast through that evening, from joyful to feeling very low. This could help to show the contrasting characters to what the family already knew, and that there can always be a different side to someone that you didn't know of. This proves that the family will never get on so well again, and that they would have to get to know each other again to bond.
The play An Inspector Calls is a morale play, in which the audience find themselves with in the play and learn something from it. The Inspector uses this in his final speech to teach a lesson, not just to the characters on stage but the audience that is witnessing the performance too. “There are millions and millions of Eva Smiths and John Smiths”. These names are very common, and therefore, this gives a chance for the audience to actually find themselves with in this speech. This, once they hear their names will draw in the audience a bit more, so they will learn the lesson of segregation through the Inspector as they feel they have to listen closely.
Great analysis of theme, make sure that you mention the 7 Deadly Sins if you are talking about morality plays.
DeleteIn the final speech, we see J.B priestly's socialist views by the way he repeats "we" throughout. it creates a sense of unity and supports the fact that everyone is equal and should be treated the same. This is also shown where he says " we are members of one body" which makes us think through the use of 'members' that everyone is in some sort of group and are all the same.
ReplyDeletewe also see the Inspector as God-like where he mentions "blood and anguish". This can represent the war which ill happen in a few years time, so this is dramatic irony as the audience know that it is coming but the characters don't. The inspector can be seen as God-like as he can predict he future. He says this as he think there should be karma upon society for the way people like the Birlings act towards the working class, and this is seen where he says "if men will not learn their lesson" and J.B priestly thinks that what goes around comes around.
At the end of the speech the inspector says "good night". this is ironic because it hasnt been a good night at all, when it was supposed to be. The inspector has interrupted the evening and have broken up relationships between the family, but the is also karma as they had something like this coming because of their ways.
we also see a lot of juxtaposition throughout the speech, especially where the inspector says "hopes and fears". J.b priestly wants to show how different the communist and socialist views are and what socialism can bring to society. he also suggests that there was 'hope' for the working class until people higher up ruin their lives like the Birlings did.
Great analysis, make sure you pick apart the connotations of certain words like 'blood.'
DeleteIn the final speech, the inspector is presented to us by J.B Priestly as an omnipotent character with god-like qualities. This is evident through the phrase, ~...and I tell you that the time will soon come when..." This implies to us that the inspector is all knowing. This also suggests that the inspector had a sense of prediction for the future; qualities believed to be present in only God himself.
ReplyDeleteThe inspector is also presented as one in great control, clear through Priestly's use of dramatic irony. By leaving the Birling's household with a simple, "Good night",we are led to believe that the inspector intended to be polite, though distinct irony was expressed when doing so. This proves to be ironic because the interruption of the inspector ruined the celebratory night belonging to the Birling family, and almost all of the relations in the family. This clearly proves they will not be faced with a "good night".
The inspector uses personal pronouns commonly in his speech such as, "We are members of one body". This phrase shows us that in the eyes of the inspector, everyone is part of one family creating a sense of unity in the general community. This links in vividly with the fact that the inspector has socialist views, which clearly links to this idea of togetherness.
Also, complimenting this idea of socialism, we see the repetition of the word, "millions", in the inspector's final speech. This repetition emphasises how many people there are known by the very common title of "Smith", and suggested this very distinct idea of how everybody should be classed as equal, linking to the inspector's well known political views of socialism.
In this speech, Priestly has the inspector convey a certain message, of how actions of some, affect others. "We are responsible for each other". This is almost as though the inspector is trying to make the Birlings feel guilty for what they have done, in attempt to show his power and authority over them. This is presented as the inspector acts as a parental figure teaching the family a lesson, giving them an insight into what is believed to be the right mind set, and views typically portrayed by a socialist.
Excellent use of word level analysis...link topic sentences to the Inspector and who he could be?
DeletePriestley uses the Inspector's final speech to translate his political views across to the audience, bringing home the ultimate moral of the story and delivering a lasting impact upon us as we consider his words; he was a socialist who believed in the idea of a whole community instead of segregated classes that was the capitalist view, and through the Inspector we can see this clearly.
ReplyDeleteRepetitive use of the pronoun “we” creates a sense of unity and togetherness, something Priestley was striving to show with his work and have influence his audience, that everyone should care for each other and we are all “members of one body.” Everyone has a “body”, and this noun implies that we all think and feel the same, are all humans and should treat each other as such. The noun “member” connotes to everyone being a part of one single group, throwing aside the idea of multiple groups; classes that separated people before. These reflect Priestley’s socialist views, as he wanted everyone to work together and be as one, perhaps suggesting that the Inspector is only a pawn with which Priestly can get across his own ideals.
The Inspector can also be related to religion, more specifically God, as within the last line he says how men will be “taught in fire and blood and anguish.” The rule of three is used to bring about a bigger impact on the reader, as we take in the depth of how much man will suffer if they do not learn to treat each other equally. The verb “taught” has connotations of a teacher, like the Inspector is teaching the Birling family moral lessons on life. This presents the Inspector like God, who taught his followers good from evil, and the Inspector presents the Birling’s wrongs to them and ultimately talks of how they can repent and change themselves for the better. “Fire”, “Blood,” and “Anguish” are all words that relate to hell, implying that the Birling’s will go to hell if they continue on their selfish path; the Inspector is again like God, passing judgement upon them and what they’ve done. Dramatic Irony is used to effect as we know that World War I is about to happen, and the characters are blissfully unaware, except for the Inspector. This way he is shown to be omniscience, all knowing, something we again can relate to God. This makes the Inspector seem extremely powerful, as God is regarded by religious believers as the most powerful, almighty being. It makes the Birling’s seem very insignificant compared to him, which suggests the idea that there is nothing they can do to stop the Inspector, and ultimately Priestley’s, ideals from coming true, and they will be punished if they do not change.
Great use of alternative viewpoints, make sure short quotes are used to expand analysis.

ReplyDeletePriestley presents the Inspector as omnipotent when the Inspector says “they will be taught in fire and blood and anguish”. By using the word ‘will’ Priestley shows the Inspector is sure about what is going to happen and has knowledge of the future, attributing him with God-like power as only a spiritual being would be able to predict the future with such surety. This is also an example of dramatic irony as the audience know that in 1914 (two years after the play is set), WW1 breaks out and which links with ‘blood and anguish’ as ‘blood’ reminds us of death and violence and millions died in the war and socialist Priestley disagreed with the war and saw it as the product of greedy capitalist governments. The nouns “fire and blood and anguish” also links with religion as it has connotations of hell and Armageddon, and Priestley is suggesting that unless people change their ways and stop committing sins such as greed they will suffer badly. These words would have had a powerful impact on the audience as we already associate “fire” with hell which has strong imagery as most people already have a concept of hell and punishment in the afterlife, and so Priestley is putting the crime of the traditional sins (which is what Christians believe bring Armageddon) on the same level as capitalist views as he believed these views stemmed from selfishness.
Priestley uses the Inspector as a teacher as he writes “if men will not learn that lesson” and the noun ‘lesson’ is associated with school and teachers, and suggests that Priestley uses the Inspector as a tool to teach the audience about his moral and political views. It also shows that everyone has a lot to learn and Priestley believes that the audience needs to be educated as he uses the word ‘men’ to represent the entire community and shows that the change in outlook and lifestyle needs to be made by everyone.
Priestley uses the names “Eva Smiths and John Smiths” and by using the common name ‘Smith’ Priestley illustrates that the problems that Eva has suffered from are very common and many people are in the same predicament, and this is reinforced by the use of the plurals in each name. It reminds the audience that the play is not about an isolated incident but the suffering of an entire class of people and that Eva represents all of the lower class. The name ‘Eva’ also has religious connotations as it reminds the audience of Adam and Eve, and Eve was drawn into temptation and was punished for it, and similarities can be drawn between this and Eva as she suffered as Gerald tempted her as well. The link to religion makes Eva (and therefore the lower class) seem more important and of a higher status as most people think respectfully of Christianity.
Priestley writes that they are “left with us” and this gives the audience a sense of responsibility as the personal pronoun ‘us’ unites everyone and makes everyone feel equally involved with this responsibility of the community, and this idea of shared responsibility is continued with the repetition of the personal pronoun ‘we’. The verb ‘left’ suggests that someone has actively given to us the responsibility for caring for these members of society and Priestley makes the audience feel a connection with people like Eva as we feel it is now our duty to help those like her.
The Inspector finishes the speech with “Good night.” and this short sentence has an impact on the audience as the abrupt sentence finishes his lengthy speech and it is as though he is leaving the decision to the audience about whether to listen to his warnings or not, and give them time to think over his words. As well as the contrast in sentence length, Priestley also juxtaposes the words ‘anguish’ and ‘good’ and this could reflect Priestley’s optimism for the future as although he gives dire warnings of ‘anguish’ and death, he then says ‘good’ and shows that he hopes that the future will improve and wishes for a better future, which is why he abruptly wishes the Birlings good night after his pessimistic warnings.
Great analysis of sentence structure!
