'We don't live alone, we are members of one body. We are responsible for each other.

" is the moral Priestly is stating in his play in 'Inspector Calls' through the words of one of his characters, 'Inspector Goole'. He may have seemed all ordinary at first but his name says it all. The nature of his character is left ambiguous by Priestly but behind the play, there's a certain reason for his involvement. As the inspector interrogates each family member of the Birlings and Gerald about their chain of events leading to this girl called 'Eva Smith or Daisy Renton', the moral of Priestly comes much clearer and lets the reader to think about their own experience and to what they wouldv'e done. The way the characters reacted to what the Inspector asks about their attachment with this Eva Smith or Daisy Renton altered into 3 parts, in the beginning, during and at the end when the Inspector has left. Arthur Birling as an example, the head of the family, as he states, '..a man has to make his own way, has to look after himself - and his family too,.", reveals his characteristics that to him, being a Father is considered the most important job, the one who is responsible for the whole lot in order to give the best for them. Priestly enhances Arthur's character as being the one admired to the readers, an inspiration to all, that with all the hard work done, comes credit and that its better to sacrifice now, and enjoy later in time ".. I've learnt in the good hard school of experience, that a man has to mind his own business and look after himself and his own..". However, the way he reacted when he found out about what happened to this Eva Smith, he showed no sign of sympathy nor has taken any responsibility for what he started "Still, i can't accept any responsibility. If we we're all responsible for everything that happened to everybody we'd have nothing to do with, it would be very awkward". He didn't even consider the life of Eva Smith without a job nor a home, and just fired her for she wanted a higher wage for he just believes in low wages, high

prices,. Birlings actions may be considered normal in reality, but caring for the
employees and their background should also be considered before getting them fired. Also, for Shiela's case, when she got Eva Smith fired from her job at Milwards by using her Authority was wrong. Another damage the Birling have caused to Eva Smith. However for Shiela, she did feel sorry at the end and says that 'If i could help her now, i would'. This shows that shiela does have remorse and she's

more human than anyone else. From the cases of these two characters,
Priestly wanted to put forward that class wasn't all that should be recognized through a person, but in this play, this was what shown for a reason, for Priestly to reveal the consequences that may happen on issues of social class. Gerald was also part of Eva Smith's demise. And the significance of the inspector through his interrogation with him helped reveal the secrets for his absence last summer. With the results, it helped Shiela realize that they'd "have to start all over again" for the deception he has caused. The inspector lead Shiel to the right path

before entering marriage with Gerald, he helped Shiela to realze the cracks in their relationship. For Sybil's case, it's similar to Arthur, she wont tolerate such accusations and 'accepts no blame for it at all'. Priestly is stating here that Sybil has done '..something terribly wrong - and that she's going to spend the rest of her life regretting it'. As i said, her and Birling are similar to reality. For their rejection to Eva was quite reasonable. The last though was Eric, where the Inspector hoped the to realize his faults and the responsibilities they'll have to consider due to Eva Smith's death. From his case, shows quite a lot of mistakes that should be learnt from. It's natural for a person to make mistakes, yet they should know their limits and try to control it, however for Eric, it didn't go quite well. Eric's character can also relate to the present life right now, for all the teenagers that are not responsible enough to take action of their own life. So basically, the Inspector is rather an unremarkable character and plays a big role in the play. Priestly uses him to build the tension more as the characters come to understand the fate of Eva and their roles. Also for the readers to remember, that even though 'One Eva Smith has gone - there are millions and millions of Eva Smiths and John Smiths still left with us, with their lives, their hopes and fears, their suffering and chance of happiness all intertwined with our lives, and what we think or say and do".
