- Sheila Birling
- Appearance
- She is described at the start as "a pretty girl in her early twenties, very pleased with life and rather excited."
- Personality
- She feels full of guilt for her jealous actions and blames herself as "really responsible."
- She is angry with her parents in Act 3 for trying to "pretend that nothing much has happened."
- she has had suspicions about Gerald when she mentions "last summer, when you never came near me."
- This could suggest that she is not as naïve and shallow as she first appears.
- she shows her compassion immediately she hears of her father's treatment of Eva Smith: "But these girls aren't cheap labour - they're people."
- she is the first to wonder who the Inspector really is, saying to him, 'wonderingly', "I don't understand about you." She warns the others "he's giving us the rope - so that we'll hang ourselves"
