analysis for 1)

fire blood anguish - tripple similar to to the inspector “burnt her inside out”- showing the direct relationship they have as being in a society, The Inspector is referring to his message of taking responsibility for each other in society
Priestley builds to a climax in a list by repeatedly using 'and' and his word choice is extremely powerful. 'Fire' and 'blood' and 'anguish' are all words with connotations of war and death.
Priestley is reminding the audience that if we carry on living selfishly there will be consequences of war (world war 1 broke out just after Priestley set this play) and the death of millions.
Priestley is emphasising the vitality of social responsibility. set antebelum to

Eva represented the working class, and the poulation who are exploited by the bourgeoise like birling and croft, Eva represented the working class, and the poulation who are exploited by the bourgeoise like birling and croft, millions, priestley has opened up the play of one familys dining room to a global concern, the common names, used represets the working class masses, inspector mouthpiece for priestley

Priestley uses three short blunt sentences that help to emphasis his main point summarised in the last sentence with the metaphor 'one body' cleverly suggests that like limbs of a body we cannot survive without each other again emphasising the socialist idea that we must look out for the most vulnerable in society.

pretending, sheila acknowledges there is some sense of a facade the upper class family portray, shes no longer timid and denounces their political views, her perception is clearly changed, dont have to accept parents indoctrination, pretendng- a facade, and sehila and eric the 2 younger characters are the first to recognise this ridiculous act that their fammily have put on, the gernational divide, eternal recurrence (first thought by a russian philospher - ouspensky) - we are in a never ending cycle unless we change our behaviour (if we learn from our mistakes)- long monologue given by inspector suggesting we need to change etc, they invite the viscious cycle of the lower classes suffering, its irresponsible, the end of the play were the upper class show no remorse, they recieve a call, and the play is a cyclical cycle or structure (eternal recurrence!!!!

This cutting remark demonstrates the growing divide between the two generations, but alsoreveals the 'us vs. them' mentality of the upper classes. Mr and Mrs Birling see the world through conflict: upper class vs. lower class, employer vs. employee, Capitalism vs. Socialism. This is why they act the way they do: they view those beneath them with suspicion and contempt. Priestley suggests that, in the upper classes, the number one rule is loyalty. Above all, you should protect your family and your reputation. Mrs Birling, in this quote, resents the way her children are siding with the Inspector rather than with their parents. She believes this is an act of disloyalty, but also is concerned they are abandoning her for Socialism and the lower classes. They are breaking the pact of the family.

The stage direction immediately sets the tone of Birling's speech, conveying his frustration and need to assert control. His anger contrasts sharply with Eric's more resigned response, emphasizing their disconnect. "You're the one I blame for this" – The accusatory direct address ("you're") is pointed and personal, reflecting Birling's instinct to deflect responsibility onto his son. This shifts focus away from his own failures, revealing his defensive nature. "I'll bet I am" – Eric's bitter, almost sarcastic reply suggests he has come to expect this kind of treatment. The colloquial, defeated tone contrasts with Birling's aggression, emphasizing his sense of isolation within the family. It also hints at Eric's growing self-awareness and resentment.

sybil regarding erics raping her

Priestley argues its human nature, society refuses to learn the lessons, its human nature to hide painful truth, just as its human natures to look after our own nterests

and we also need to better ourselves like sheila and eric

quote 2 - ironic, the man is her son, without realising it, in an attempt to shift the blame from herself, she places the blame on the father of the child (her own son). Dramatic irony. Demonstrates her selfishness and her lack of ability to accept blame.

Sybil is blame shifting which makes her appear very desperate and foolish. It suggests a loss of control because she panics due to her loss of control of the situation and so she tries to restore the sense of being in control by blaming others. Additionally, her lack of parental disciple in this upper class society may be the reason for this as they failed to teach their children how to take responsibility for their actions and hence she grows up as someone who blames others.

links to the chain of events that inspector discusses - mrs birling while she didn’t mean to, forced in a sense for eric to take responsibility

she has a lose mouth, something women were looked down upon, for speaking

quote 3 - idea of social responsibility comes into play
