inspector calls topic sentences

Paragraph 1

Priestley immediately introduces the idea that people are reluctant to take responsibility for their own actions and the impact they have on others through the character of Mr Birling.

Paragraph 2

Contrastingly, Priestley uses the character of Sheila Birling, representing the younger generation, to counteract the selfishness of her father. Sheila is portrayed as a more sympathetic character and realises that she does have a responsibility to others.

Paragraph 3

furthermore, the Inspector’s key speech reveals Priestley’s beliefs that we all share responsibility and highlights the potential consequences if a shared responsible attitude is not adopted

Paragraph 4

By the end of the play, Priestley further reinforces the idea that Mr Birling, of the older generation, has indeed not changed his views on the issue of responsibility but Sheila clearly has.
