Dramatic Functions of Inspector Goole in An Inspector Calls by J.B. Priestley In the play An Inspector Calls, a message is being portrayed to the reader by J. B Priestley and in my opinion, the main bearer of this message is the inspector. Being of an ambiguous nature, he appears to live in a different world to the family with whom he deals; the Birlings and it is his dramatic function in the play that I shall be analysing. Firstly, we have the Stage Instructions

1984. The play “An Inspector Calls” was written by him in 1945, and came onstage in 1914. An Inspector calls, is a play that revolves around the apparent suicide of a young woman called Eva Smith. In the play, the unsuspecting Birling family are visited by the mysterious Inspector Goole. Priestley uses a variety of different techniques, especially language and quotations, to contrast and elicit differing responses to Mr Birling and Inspector Goole. Mr Birling and Inspector Goole are two opposite characters

An Inspector Calls ‘What do you think is the importance of inspector Goole and how does Priestley present him?’ J.B Priestly employs a various methods to present the inspector as well as showing his importance such as stage directions and from the language he uses. These methods allow us to understand and relate to the moral messages put across in the play. The inspector right from the moment he is introduced is commanding of the situation and already has that authority he displays later on

The Inspector Goole controls the flow of the play by making sure only one person speaks at a time. The author who is J.B Priestley is using the inspector as his own voice because he believed in social responsibilities and throughout his life he liked people implementing his thought.

He aspires to bring change amongst the upper class using the Birling family which in all is a victory amongst those with an open mind – Sheila, Eric but a waste amongst those who do not support his socialist views – Gerald, Mr Birling and Mrs Birling. Priestly carefully crafts Inspector Goole as a person of higher authority

And mother hardened her heart and gave her the final push that finished her- that’s what’s important- and not weather a man is a police inspector or not. Well Eric and I have learnt a promising lesson that there are millions of John Smiths and Eva Smiths in the world. I shall never do something so careless and selfish again, and I pray that my parents and Gerald come to the same realisation

They have been used to teach the audience an important lesson.    The first dramatic device used is the lighting in the play, Priestley uses the lighting to change the atmosphere as at the start of the play the lighting is calm and casual, however when the Inspector enters

'An Inspector Calls', many contrasts and paradox's are present and at the centre of them all is the character known as Inspector Goole. However, the inspector is not any ordinary inspector. I believe that the inspector is used as a device by Priestley to explore the wider themes of the play and to depict other characters true personalities. This essay will explore some of the techniques Priestley presents the inspector in An Inspector Calls. One of the ways Priestley presents the inspector is through

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

I am an executive police inspector for the Seattle PD. Seven years ago I was investigating a series of gruesome murders that occurred in the city and its surrounding suburbs. I remember my first encounter with the case, it was mid-December and I had just returned from my “vacation” in North Korea. The second my plane landed, I saw I had 24,000 missed messages, too much for one man to deal with. “I’m not dealing with this right now.” I threw my phone off the tarmac beneath an oncoming plane.
