Solved


Stage directions: All three acts...are continuous - ✔✔Act 1 Page 1:

Traditional Greek tragedies written in three acts. The action is continuous

suggesting there is no time to think, action happens in real time and with a

sense of pace and immediacy and inevitability

Stage directions: Spring 1912 - ✔✔Act 1 Page 1: The play is set in the

spring of 1912 which sets up much of the dramatic irony: the Titanic is

about to sink, world war 1 starts in 1914 (the play was written in 1945 at the

end of world war 2 - creating dramatic irony for the audience who know

about both wars)

Stage directions: The lighting should be pink and intimate until the

INSPECTOR arrives and then it should be brighter and harder - ✔✔Act 1

Page 1: The lighting presents the changing mood of the play - the pink light

suggests that the family see life through rose tinted glasses, they do not

see the reality of the impending war, the suffering of the working classes,

etc. The harsher lighting suggests the light of truth which the inspector

brings with him. The light used in an interrogation. It also reveals the truth

about the family; they begin to see each other in a different light.

Stage directions: Arthur Birling is a heavy-looking, rather portentous man in

this middle fifties with fairly easy manners but rather provincial in this

speech. " - ✔✔Act 1 Page 1: Heavy-looking suggests he is over-weight like

a fat cat - someone who gluttonous (wealth, food, money). Notice that he is

physically 'big' unlike the inspector who is described as having a large

physical presence although is not necessarily a physically large man.



Portentous suggests he is pompous, self-important



Notice that both Birling and the Inspector are BOTH in their fifties - Priestly

is inviting us to compare these men and compare what they represent.

Provincial - from the countryside - suggests that he is not sophisticated

and narrow minded in his views of the world and the big political issues of

the day eg the impending war.

Stage directions: His wife is about fifty, a rather cold woman and her

husband's social superior. - ✔✔Act 1 Page 1: Suggests that Mrs Birling is

incapable of empathy and other human emotions that make us better

people.

Stage directions: Sheila is a pretty girl in her early twenties, very pleased

with life and rather excited. " - ✔✔Act 1 Page 42401: Notice that BOTH

Sheila and Eva smith are both in their early twenties. Again, priestly is

inviting us to compare Sheila's life with Eva Smith's life. Sheila: 20s, has

family, rich, doesn't need to work, has a future, going to be married. Eva:

20s, orphaned/no family, poor, must work to survive; is dead/has no future,

used sexually/unmarried.



Pleased with life/excited suggests she is carefree

Stage directions: Gerald croft is an attractive chap about thirty, rather too

manly to be a dandy but very much the well-bred young man-about-town. -
