Eric Birling - Inspector Calls

Naïve but challenges capitalist views

• “Why shouldn’t they try for higher wages?”

• “(involuntary) My God!” - Eva’s death

Sexist, upper class vs lower class

Treats Eva as “an animal, a thing, not a person”

Any type of person can be immoral

“He does drink pretty hard”

Remorse and socialist message

• “it” - what he’s done

• “Then you killed her, my child, you killed them both - damn you!”
