However‚ as soon

    How does Priestley present Mr Birling in Act one? The play‚ by J.B Priestley‚ was set in 1912 because the author wanted to give an audience a better understanding of the contrast in social class and hierarchy‚ which was split into Upper‚ Middle and working class‚ compared to what they had in 1945‚ when the play was written. Additionally‚ by setting it during The Edwardian era‚ the assemblage is able to observe the domineering Capitalistic views which is the heart of Arthur Birling’s philosophy.
