Key Elements Of Dramatic Iron In An Inspector's An Inspector Calls

Together with Eric, who was described by Priestley as shy and childish. This changed as we realised his part in Eva’s death. Eric was honest and admitted his faults. Eric refuses to try to cover his part up, saying, what he did is what he did and he can’t change it. He was embarrassed that he was a hardened drinker. He is a thief and he later feels the guilt of this when he realises he contributed in encouraging Eva Smith's death and that he was the father of her unborn child. Moreover, when Eric realises that his mother is partly responsible for the death of his unborn child he is petrified, shocked and turbulent. By the end of the play Eric had taken responsibility for his actions alongside Sheila.

It all starts in the beginning of the book On page 10, Paul’s mom states, “‘How about waiting for the rest of us, Eric?’” This quote foreshadows what is to come later on in the story. The deep and dark Eric. This little action may not seem like a big deal, but it shows Eric's future personality. Rude, inappropriate, and violent. To add, on page 52, Paul says, “How could they be happy...Mike Costello's death.” This quote marks the start of many more bad behaviours to come from Erik. This is when the reader starts to think that there is another darker side to Erik that has not been on full display. All in all, Erik is a very shady character to start off, he really doesn’t have a full personality, but that will soon change.

From his speech “so I insisted on giving her enough money to keep her going”. Being brought up in a family where his father strongly believes in a man has to be responsible for himself and his family, Eric tried to imitate his father, being a responsible figure, and may also want the public to finally give him some respect. From the fact that he did not want other people to know that he was in a relationship with a worker girl, shows that he wants respect from the society. From his act of stealing money through precise plans, which the Birling family would not discover if the inspector is not here for inquiry, which shows like his father, he is extremely concerned with his public image and his

Eric’s problem began when he was the new kid in town when he met David Hallenback, the minor character, running away from someone with ketchup all over his body, looking terrified, and glancing back again and again while he ran. By this scene, Eric could guess that Hallenback was bullied. After Hallenback left, he saw a group of boys and a girl, on their bikes. The boy who seems to be the leader Griffin asked about Hallenback. At this time, Eric could observe the relationship between Griffin’s gang and Hallenback and it

    On Eric’s first day, while in homebase he recognizes the boy who ran past him this summer.   He learns that this kid is David Hallenbeck. David is the center of all of Griffin’s bullying. Mary, one of the girls that was with Griffin, walks up the Eric and tells him to stay away from Hallenbeck, after noticing Eric looking at David.

    Eric Calhoune, both the protagonist and narrator, is an important character of the text. It is fascinating how he is such a devoted friend to Sarah, and wants to do whatevers best for her, even if it is not beneficial for him. Over the course of the novel, Eric evolved into a more forgiving character. This is accomplished when he goes to someone who used to bully him, Dale Thornton, for help on how to get Sarah Byrnes to

Then when he told Mr. Byrnes where Sarah was, it was a decision he made for both himself and Sarah, because if he hadn’t told Mr. Byrnes, then he would have been dead and unable to help her anymore. In addition, when Eric kept Sarah from going to Colorado, it was a decision for both of them because he knew that if Sarah stayed, then she could have a family, but also that Eric did not want to lose her or her friendship. Even though Eric had to choose Sarah’s safety over her friendship for different decisions of the book, he was able to do it in a way that he saved their friendship and kept her

However, before Eric met The Inspector, he was quite irresponsible since he made Eva pregnant and drinks a great deal but after he knew he had a child, he did everything in his power to help Eva and his future child even if it included theft. A quote that shows this is ’Well, she hadn't a job – and didn't feel like trying again for one – and she'd no money left – so I insisted on giving her enough money to keep her going – until she refused to take any more.’ Although stealing is a crime and should not have been done, it shows that Eric takes responsibility and tries to help his family. Even at the end of the play he takes responsibility for being in the death of Eva and a quote showing this is ‘The fact remains that I did what I

I made Eric Fisher a square. I made him a square because he stays the same throughout the entire story. He is a bully for the whole book. Inside of the square, I colored it black. Black represents evil and power. Eric is powerful because he has many friends that do whatever he says. For example, his friend, Arthur, does whatever he says, even if he ordered him to kill someone else. This happens on page 284 when he orders Arthur to kill Louis. I also made the square yellow because it represents cowardice. In the end of the book, he wasn’t sorry about hurting Paul, or promising to never hurt or steal from anybody again, he was scared of getting in trouble. Eric just stays in his room. It says, “back and forth, back and forth, in the cage that he had made for himself”

Eric thinks before handing over the letter. He cared for Sarah so much, he was willing to risk their entire friendship to keep her safe from her father. It also took courage for Eric to tell Mr. Byrnes that he knew where Sarah was, when they were in a meeting with the vice-principal. It took even more courage to do so, since Mr. Byrnes threatened him over the phone and face-to-face before this. Eric wanted to let him know that he was in control of the situation between them and not Mr. Byrnes.

Courage is very important thing for someone to have in life. It’s important because it can get someone far in life, and it can make them successful. In the book Staying Fat For Sarah Byrnes by Chris Crutcher, it shows why it’s a good thing to have. It’s a book about 2 friends who’ve been outcasts for their whole school experience. But when Eric starts losing weight it changes their friendship.

Eric and Sheila show us hope in the future generation being more humanitarian. Eric may be a drunken fool on the outside, but he did try to provide for Eva, and certainly took the Inspector 's words to heart. Sheila is comfortable in discussing and revealing the hidden faults which are ignored in their circle; for example Eric 's drunkenness and the Alderman 's lascivious ways. She sees through the Inspector 's message that honesty, clarity and sensitivity are the true values of society
