- inspector calls: responsibility
- Mr Birling's conservative view
- "cant accept any responsibility" for what happened to eva
- Mr Birlings viewpoint doesn't alter throughout the play
- "still can't take any responsibility"
- instead when the idea of a hoax occurs he focuses on the idea of it being a "public scandal" this shows the audience how his views don't change even with the circumstances
- "still can't take any responsibility"
- Sheila
- socialist view- care for everybody
- "but these girls aren't cheap labour- they're people"
- when she finds out about evas death Priestly makes her remorse evident
- by her talking being described "miserably" and "distressed" highlights here guilt and acceptance of responsibility.

- "can't listen to anymore of it" in relation to her families views
- younger generation
- Eric and Sheila
