- he seems to learn from his mistakes only to go back to how he was when he finds out that it was a fake. shows the unwillingness to change.
- he is integrated first because he has the strongest views and clashes the most with j.b priestly. He is the leader of the household, represents the gender inequalities of the times and how it was acceptable and seen as correct.
- he is the first to be interrogated and the last to realise the error of his ways. last one to speak. shows how he was the hardest to convince because he had the strongest opinions.
- p.10- birlings speech. p20- end of birlings interrogation.

- ignorance: 'titanic is unsinkable...absolutely unsinkable'
- 'a man has to mind his own business and-' we hear the sharp ring of the doorbell. godlike. interrupting him shows his insignificance and how his ideas dont compare to those of priestly. they won't last and aren't strong enough to overcome great forces ( i.e. war?)
- 'nothing to do with you sheila' sexism of the time.
- 'we play golf together sometimes' ... 'i dont suppose you did' he sees him as below him. golf was typically for the upper class and shows that even the head of the police exercised these stereotypical activities. there is no real justice, the society they have is fraud. the priorities aren't as they should be.
- 'its about time you learnt to face a few responsibilities.' ironic because he doesn't take enough responsibility and not for the right purposes.
- 'rubbish!' refuses responsibility and doesn't accept the blame. again representing the unwillingness to change.
- 'And a police inspectors on his ay her-to ask some-questions-' last one to speak. pin point where he finally realises that he is in the wrong. took him the longest out of all of them.
