The inspector is quite rude to Mrs Birling “do you want me to tell you-in plain words” and has to really prompt her to talk about what she did “Aren’t you?” “As what then?” this shows that Mrs Birling is a very proud woman and does not feel that any of her actions were wrong.

1. Throughout the story suspense is aroused and maintained excellently. This is achieved by the character the author creates. Mr. Martin is characterized as a neat and cautious man, who never took a smoke or a drink in his life. Our suspense is aroused when the author states that it has been “a week to the day since Mr. Martin had decided to rub out Mrs. Ulgine Barrows”.

I am getting very suspicious of what’s going on with the Barrymore's. I woke up this morning and looked out a window, it was unusually an amazing view of the moor. I could see everything, the Grimpen Mire, it was the best view of the moor. I assumed that I should mention what happened last night to Sir Henry. In fact, Sir Henry mentioned that he also heard Barrymore going around late at night. This all is very unusual, so we both decided to stay up that night and follow Barrymore. Sir Henry prepared to go out for a walk on the moor. I had to come along and investigate, but Sir Henry insisted that I “stayed home.” I remembered what you said, demanding that I shouldn’t let Sir Henry leave the house on his own. It was obvious that he was going

Noticeably trembling, she grabbed his hand as he lifted it to strike Amari again, enough she said i think she learned her lesson now.” She couldn't help herself while she was getting beat or it was just going to be worse. If it wasn't for Mrs. Derby who knows how long he would've continued to whip her. Amari had to clean up the blood and after she healed she had to go to the field.

She then cringed as she conjured up the image of Samuel and the expression on his face when she had told him she was marrying someone else. The hurt in his eyes had burned a hole in her heart that remained to this day. She quivered all over, not from the nasty cold, but as a reaction to her thoughts as they drifted back to that ghastly day and to the moment she realized she was pregnant with Owen’s baby: the day her life ceased to exist as she had known it.

She looked at the child, safely in her arms, breathing steadily. She looked at the man, then turned her head at the semi. The semi woman had no chance. She cared for the child, even when it ended her own life. She cradled the child in her arms, quietly praying that he didn’t what had become of his mother. She didn’t know that the child was hanging onto her arm, sobbing into her sleeve. The warm, wet tears on her shirt had brought something out of her. She broke down in the middle of the road. She cried into the bright blue coat of the little boy. He was tightly holding his Teddy bear when she had grabbed him, but when she looked down, he was no longer in possession of such an innocent creature. He dropped it when she had set him on the ground. She stood up, looked at the burning car and semi, and realized that she had saved a person, but she was mostly proud at the fact that she had saved a child, no older than eight years. The police took her, the man, and the child into custody. She walked to the ambulance with the help of an officer. The girl had been silent from the moment that she had put her earbuds in. She hadn’t spoken a single word. Not a single

That was all she needed, the man she was to marry after this assignment learning that she had done more than what was required with her husband. Speaking about her husband, the fool was fast asleep in the bedroom. After all the narcotics she had to slip into his drinks last night, she was surprised the fool was still breathing. Just one pill would put two men out, but she had to dose him three times before she could even get the man to slur his words. He wasn’t that way when all this had started six months ago.

The Husband loves his wife and the narrator writes through the tenderness of the Husband's eye. When Ann slices her finger re-washing the silverware, all animosity is lost as he scrambles up stairs to get her a Band-Aid as a peace offering to cease the argument. He finishes the cleaning in the kitchen and goes as far as to mop the floor while he waits for the frustration and anger to subside in his Wife.

The husband is by himself now, alone in the living room. Moments go by before an expensive coffee table is upside down, with shards of a vase decorating the floor. He cleans up his moment of rage, and spends the rest of night lazily smoking out the window, thinking about the problems that are before him. Morning soon arrives, and the sleepless couple greets each other in the kitchen. The husband explains that he has a plan, and it will take a lot of time and effort to execute. The wife assures him that he will

He aimed for the cat and, when his wife inhibited the blow, he “buried the axe in her brain” (Page 3). This escalation of violence cannot be blamed purely on an excess of alcohol, however much the narrator may attempt to persuade the reader of his, due to the fact that he was only intoxicated during the first act. This, in turn, leads the reader to question the narrator’s mental stability.
