Priestley‚ the writer of the morality play ‘An Inspector Calls’‚ and John Steinbeck‚ the author of the novella ‘Of Mice and Men’‚ to successfully portray their messages.

Mr. and Mrs. Birling‚ however‚ do not accept any social responsibility and reject the Inspector’s call as a “hoax” and “nonsense”. The two generations are further contrasted by the fact that the older generation

    Originally the characters feel secure because they feel that Eva’s death had nothing to do with them. In particular Mr and Mrs Birling’ s nature is one in which they only believe what they want to‚ rather than looking at the facts‚ " I don’t believe it. I wont." However as the act continues‚ as Sheila has previously predicted‚ the inspector is ’breaking down the walls’ that Mrs Birling has set up between her and Eva. This breaking down of the walls‚ the dismantling of the false sense of security adds to
