At the beginning of the extract the Inspector says “She wasn’t very pretty ... very pretty.” In my opinion the Inspector says this to try and give the Birlings a ‘guilt trip’. Mr. Birling reacts by almost telling the Inspector off‚ as if he were a child‚ “That’s enough of that”‚ it sounds like something he would say to Sheila or Eric. The reason he says this is most probably because he feels that he is better and more important than the Inspector and that he can tell the Inspector what to do. The

Several things give us this impression in the first scene‚ for example her reaction to her engagement ring: “Oh Mummy – isn’t it a beauty?!” She also appears quite naive‚ despite her curiosity as to where her fiancé Gerald spent his summer last year. However‚ as soon
