- Eva Smith
- Never seen, only have the evidence that the Inspector and the Birling's give us
- "Very pretty - soft brown hair and big dark eyes"
- Not a detailed description
- Implies that she represents everyone
- The perfect woman - fairy-tale like / imaginary
- Looks contrast the way she was treated
- Pretty women are always put on "peddle stools", she wasn't as she was poor
- Her parents are dead
- Evokes sympathy for her
- Nobody will miss her
- Eva only has the Birling's as a link to the living
- Again gives the idea she isn't just one person but many
- Evokes sympathy for her
- "We've no proof it was the same photograph and therefore no proof it was the same girl"
- Birling's are trying to look for a way out of being blamed for their own sake
- Don't care that a girl has died because of what they did
- Birling's are trying to look for a way out of being blamed for their own sake
- "Millions of Eva and John Smiths"
- Eva was a vehicle to represent the whole of the working class
- Represents a woman as they had less rights during the 1900's so they were more vulnerable
- The fact that nobody ever sees her emphasises the theme of social class
- Just because Eva may not be real they still impacted a lot of peoples lives in negative ways
- People need to be more socially aware of how they treat people
- Just because Eva may not be real they still impacted a lot of peoples lives in negative ways
