An inspector calls is a play written in 1945 about a much different time period 1912. It is based on a working class family who act as if they were upper class. Each member of the family displays some of the seven deadly sins as we find out as the inspector questions them all.

This however due to the fact Eva was pregnant left her with not many choices.
