Mr Birling

quotes

“unsinkable, absolutely unsinkable.”

adverb “absolutely” indicated his arrogance as he believes that his opinion is stated as fact

Repetition of the word unsinkable emphasizes his strong beliefs and how he is an ideologue and stubbornly sticks to his views no matter what.

Priestly utilities mr birling as an representative of the capitalist society as when the titanic did sink the passengers with a higher status got evacuated first and the lower class working people got left and stranded. This hilights that the highter class will sacrifice and exploit the working as long as it benefits them just like how mr birling exploited Eva Smith

“The way some of these cranks talk… as if we were all mixed up together like bees in a hive”

“They way”
