The Role of Inspector Goole in in An Inspector Calls by J.B. Priestly E

The Role of Inspector Goole in An Inspector CallsExamine the role of Inspector Goole in An Inspector Calls & studythe impact his role has on the rest of the characters in the dissemble.Inspector Goole is the most important character in the play AnInspector Calls because he is the catalyst for the events that takeplace in the play. Priestleys intensions were to reveal to hisaudience the social state of England in 1945. He felt that little hadchanged since the turn of the century. Preistley was a socialist andhe very strongly believed that everyone should be equal. In this playPreistley shows to the audience that at this time it was Socialist vsCapitalist, and that everyone was separated in to social classes.These were working class, middle class and upper class. In the playthere is a character to fit into each one of these classesDaisy Renton / Eva Smith Lower classMr Birling, Eric and Sheila Middle ClassMrs Birling and Eric Upper classIn the play I think that Inspector Goole is P riestleys socialconscience. The play was written after World War 1 but was actually redress at the turn of the century (in 1912). Mr Birling thinks that heknows everything but infact what he says is a load of rubbish, suchasThe Titanic....unsikable,absolutely unsinkablewhere it sunk on its first journey. He also says there is no chance ofa war happeining, but a few years later he is once more proven wrong. MrBirling is a very shallow man.The physical description of Inspector Goole is very unique and revealsa lot about his character. The Inspector creates an essence ofmassiveness and this would be intimidating for the family. Priestlydescribes him as having solidity and ... ...spector,some more obvious than others. For example the way in which he talksto the family, the family dont conceptualize to be treated like this so theypanic and reveal to having conections with Eva or Daisy. His namecould also tell us that he is an imposter as its unspoiled like ghoulwhich is a ghost, in o thers words non existant. He has a very bigeffect on the family. Birling saysstill, I cant accept any responsibility.as he is scared of having his reputation disrupted, he would ratherhave his family take the blame. This shows he is a very selfish man.So I believe that Preistly shows his veiws through with(predicate) the characterinspector Goole, he is valuable in the play because he author explainhow he feels. He shows us about morality and morals. in that location has a goodvarity of characters in the play and the way the play slowlyprogresses is very good.
