Inspector calls- Gerald


	Personality	Role
	He is described as "an attractive chap about thirty, rather too manly to be a dandy but very much the easy well-bred man-about-town." Gerald seems to **** up to Sheila parents very much at the beginning of the play. This may be because he needs Mr Birling's approval to marry Sheila Birling.	Gerald represents how people can get so engrossed in themselves and therefore are not able to think about the consequences until they've happened. His relation with Daisy/ Eva made Shelia realise that the engagement was a bad decision and he was untrustworthy, even if Gerald may have been only 'helping' Daisy/ Eva.
	Development (Growth & change)	Other information
	Gerald doesn't seem to change very much throughout the play, but he does seem to be less of a **** up towards Sheila's parents. maybe this is because of the change of events during the course of the play. He did have some genuine feeling for Daisy Renton, however: he is very moved when he hears of her death. He tells Inspector Goole that he arranged for her to live in his friend's flat "because I was sorry for her;" she became his mistress because "She was young and pretty and warm-hearted - and intensely grateful."	Gerald Croft is not a member of the Birling family but is however suppose to marry Sheila Birling. He is an aristocrat - the son of Lord and Lady Croft. We realise that they are not over-impressed by Gerald's engagement to Sheila because they declined the invitation to the dinner.
