Monologue of Inspector Calls
That morning I was scared and devastated to go back to that shop Milwards that day. Although father forced me he still doesn’t believe what he’s done while I was going to the shop people kept on talking quietly but I knew they were talking behind my back as it was just obvious. I was shocked as father didn’t want the matter to go out in public due to his reputation and his honour. I was ashamed to be walking in the street that morning but I had learnt my lesson which other people didn’t know. I was in the shop and suddenly I had a flashback I can just remember. The previous summer was quite strange as I was very suspicious that day as I felt Gerald’s s absence. During this time I felt he must been having a affair, I couldn’t suspect anything else due to the fact of his absence. I can remember that very night when the inspector came home, inspector Goole he seemed a bit curious at first and said we had killed this girl called Eva smith I didn’t really recognize that girl or heard her name before. I was astonished to know father had something to do with this.

Inspector Goole then came up to me enquiringly as he thought I was involved. I looked at the photograph I just noticed I knew this girl,. I felt horrible knowing that this girl Eva smith got fired from her job because of me. I didn’t realise it at that time, just because I thought of that silly dress. I didn’t know what to think of myself any more knowing what I’ve done to this poor girl who did nothing to me. Just because I was jealous of her. This is what happened I was shopping at Milwards and when I saw her I told the manager that until the shop assistant (Eva smith) was gone I would never set foot in that shop again. I amazed to see that my parents and Gerald didn’t really take any notice to see what we had done. I don’t about the relationship between Gerald and myself as I don’t think I can have I relationship with someone who can’t tell the truth. I know he’s a nice man and I was excited about my

    Kindly place the white board in front of the pantry's door, I don't wanna see the pantry because it gives me heartache knowing that I won't see him anymore, doing something nasty on the toilet room. Or maybe transfer the production department anywhere away from the office. Everything about this place reminds me of him. But I can't resign for the reason that, I still have friends, whom I really love that working here. And it's hard to move on, especially seeing someone talking about him. I'm tired and I need to get rid of everything that reminds me of him. I just thought we are meant to be with. But everything falls down, when I heard the news. You just don't know how hurtful it is. It's hard to give up someone especially if he's so special…

    Good morning Sir, hope all is well. Just wanted to inform about a situation that occurred last night at approximately 2300 hours. S/O Ariel Weiland was posted at the ED lobby while Officer Omar was on signal 81 West tower and Officer Brandon 83P east tower. I was conducting a signal 93T. As I was driving around and following a suspicious vehicle, around 2340 hours I heard Officer Ariel called out Signal 51S ED 36 and stated: “No additional Officers needed”. I attempted to call her on the radio with no response. After finishing the outside perimeter tour I contacted her to explain what happened, what was the call about, she dismissed my question and simply stated that I sent you the report. As I read the report, I found out about the situation…

    Priestley presents Inspector Goole as someone who will contradict the views of Mr. Birling- he does this through his timing of Goole’s entrance in Act I. Goole’s entrance interrupts Mr Birling speech, in which he discusses his selfish views on how ”a man has to mind his own business and look after himself”. This not only characterises Mr Birling as selfish but also illustrates to the audience that these views are false as a “sharp ring of a front doorbell” interrupts them. The “sharp” sound of the bell is like a knife cutting through Mr Birling’s words. It would also cause an audience to start, as it is suggestive of a short and sudden sound, forcing the audience to take notice of that which follows the ring. The “ring” of the bell could also…

    As the inspector arrives at the home, suddenly we are shown that this respectable' young man has his own dark secrets. We first see suggestions of this at the dinner table, when Sheila (again) asks him where he was last summer, and then later Sheila says to him that he must have done things that he was ashamed of, he gives himself away immediately by being surprised and on guard because of the comment. What bothers Sheila is maybe not so much that he has a secret but that he is not honest with her. Even when she confronts him about how he knew Eva he expects her to behave like a little woman and be satisfied with a very small piece of information instead of the whole truth. Although we are immediately shocked on finding out what Gerald's secret is, he tells his story with himself as a victim of circumstance. He says that he didn't intend to stay at the bar long because he hated the hard-eyed and dough-faced' women, and met Eva when saving her from unwanted advances. He helped her out of pity with no other intention, but she became his mistress because he became the most important person in her life'. In a way, Gerald is let off of some of the guilt, since even the inspector says that he made her happy for a time, and she had the experience of living in her own home and falling in love. Gerald did have affection for her, even if he didn't love her like she loved him, he was the only one out of them all to actually have a personal relationship with her. He also shows his care when he becomes distressed when it hits home that she is dead. On the other hand, there are things about this story that add to Gerald's guilt. For instance, he says that he hated the prostitutes at the bar, but then why did he go there in the first place unless it was to pick up a prostitute. Then he helped Eva, but why did he meet her a second time by arrangement? He goes on to basically blame Eva for the fact that she became his mistress, saying that she was grateful to him, as Sheila says he…

    J.B. Priestley sets the play in a lavish and happy environment. Without Priestley even telling the audience that the play is set pre war it is obvious because of all the available luxuries and fineries such as 'champagne glasses' and 'dessert plates'. The war caused great shortages in goods and food, which led to rationing. No one in 1945 (when the play was written) would have been able to create a luxuriant celebratory dinner. This cunning use of setting deliberately reminds the audience of some of the luxuries lost because of the war.…

    ‘An Inspector Calls’ is a fascinating play of guilt and innocence, and of prejudice and hypocrisy. Throughout the play, the Inspector acts as a physical object for Priestley’s personal views. The play is a morality play, in which Mr Birling is a Capitalist and the Inspector is a Socialist. As Priestly is obviously trying to achieve the audience agreeing with his views, he creates Birling to be a pompous and an ‘easy to dis-like’ character. The Inspector works on two different levels; a dramatic level and a symbolic level.…

    I was walking motionlessly scanning the street going to the shops, it was completely dark, the pavements felt as if they were asleep as it was so quite. I arrived at the shop reached down and picked up the ice cold milk white as a ghost. I purchased the milk with a two pound coin, as i was about to leave 4 youths hooded up and covering their faces also entered the shop and i could smell the overpowering smell of cannabis . I kept a safe distance from them. I walked out the shop until i heard a loud crash followed by someone shouting my name. I turned 180' and i saw the boys following me.
