- sheila burling
- responsibility
- sheila is the first character to really involve the key theme in the play
- takes responsibility for getting eva smith sacked and then goes on to make the characters take repsonsibilty for their actions
- for example with gerald and his affair with daisy renton she doesnt shout as at this point she has started to assume the all knowing role of the inspector
- family
- mr birling
- capitalist
- set up by JB Preistly for a fall from the start
- says there isn't going to be a war, and that the titanic is unsinkable
- 'everyone should look after themselves'
- hes the hard headed businessman
- sees the marriage as a business agreement
- ms birling
- no real role until her charity is involved
- refers to sheila frequently as the child
- eric
- drunk, involved with daisy renton.
- the only other character that notices that birling is wrong, like sheila but not to the same extent
- drunk, involved with daisy renton.
- mr birling
- standing
- sheila is seen as quite childish
- as such her family treat her like a child, shown by them trying to remove her by saying things like go to bed or that it isnt suitable for her
- but towards the end of the play she assumes the role of the inspector, and becomes one of the powerful characters
- responsibility
- context
- riots and protests over pay for workers, mainly women
- written post ww2, set pre ww1
- sheila is the incarnate of priestly in the play, his way of getting his views across
