"taught in fire and blood and anguish" -Inspector Goole

Goole is Priestly's mouth piece, everything is socialist, Goole shares Priestly's ideas of how the upper class generalise and dislike the lower class as if they are all the same, he tries to mke a point. However Priestly is just generalising the upper class and saying they all thing this and it is wrong. "inspector" -ispects them, "Goole"- ghosts (haunt). This is the most iportanat speech in the whole play, and the last the note Priestly wants to leave to us, let us think about as readers or in 1946 as someone watching it as a play. It is also the most emovtive speech, could make audience feel guilty. This is the ending speech to the Birlings. "fire and blood and anguish", Sematic field of anger, fear, negative emotion (world wars). "taught" is the past tense (verb) talking to the audience. the country has jsut been "taught" but the second World War, the place is written in 1946, so they have just learnt, or should have done. Using "and" twice breaks the law of gramma, it makes it dramatic, it has Biblical Imagery, the bible is where our morals come from. Morals define right and wrong. It is posible that Priestly worries that it is already too late to change people but just after such a horrible war it is worth a try. After the war the government did change to Labour, it is posible things started to teach people that capatislist wasn't the only way.

"i was in that state when a chap easily gets nasty" -Eric

He is a drunk young man of higher class, Gerald who top uppper class doesn't care about Eva, the fact that he doesn't care about Eva could make the audience now suggest/ wonder if he likes Sheila or is it for money. Not being in love may not seem that unusual to the audience then. He didn't see Shelia when with Eva, another suggestion he just forgot about her. Eric cares more he has lees money and it's less about money and business. Although Eric still makes Eva pregnant and doesn't really love her, Eric feels bad and changes from his Capitalist perspective. Gerald and Eric are in a different class…
