Who do you think is to blame for Eva's death and why?

What are your first impressions of the play as a piece of theatre?

What  do you think of the story and its message?

From reading every characters effects on Eva Smith, I believe that Mrs Birling had the most blame on her for her death. My first reason for this is that Eva was in a vunerable position and she should have been protected. She was weak and had virtually nothing. This should have been dealt by Mrs Birling as serious and needed attention.

She failed to do this and this caused the death. My seocnd reason for this is that it was the last event in Eva's life to do with the Birling family. Every other time she has picked herself up and carried on wih her life. Although we do not know, I would think that this event on its own would have made her take her
