We'll have to share our guilt ✔️✔️INSPECTOR
Law - Morality - Guilt - Responsibility
Inspector tells everyone they are guilty in some way - even if it's just not thinking about Eva / Daisy.
Public men have responsibilities as well as privileges ✔️✔️INSPECTOR
Responsibility
Inspector tells Mr Birling that he can't just take. He tells him that he has to take care of people, not just
himself and his family.
I haven't much time ✔️✔️INSPECTOR
Time
Does the Inspector control time? Has he come back from the future?
Fire and blood and anguish ✔️✔️INSPECTOR
Revolution - Fairness - Responsibility
A warning about World War 1 and 2. The audience know that wars are coming.
He is also warning everyone that poor people will suffer more and more unless we treat everyone fairly.
*THE MOST IMPORTANT QUOTE - USE IT IN ALL ESSAYS*
There are millions of Eva Smiths and John Smiths still left with us, with their lives, their hopes and fears,
their suffering and chance of happiness, all intertwined with our lives. ✔️✔️INSPECTOR
Fairness - Responsibility
, Eva may have dies but she is just an example of all the people who have no rights, no power. The
Inspector tells us we must look after everyone, not just our family and friends.

Responsibility
The Inspector tells us we must look after everyone, not just our family and friends.
I speak as a hard-headed businessman ✔️✔️MR BIRLING
Money - Power - Materialistic (cares about things not people / passions)
Mr Birling believes his advice and opinion should be taken on everything because he owns a business.
He is very proud to be a capitalist (money maker) and wealthy.
The Titanic... unsinkable, absolutely unsinkable ✔️✔️MR BIRLING
Lack of awareness
Priestley shows the audience how wrong Mr Birling is. If he's wrong about The Titanic, he's wrong about
everything else (like looking after only yourself, Socialism and taking care of poorer people).
Girls of that class... ✔️✔️MR BIRLING
Class
Mr B shows that he thinks less of working class people, and that he is above them. He thinks "they"
behave differently (and worse) than those of his class.
I'd give thousands ✔️✔️MR BIRLING
Money - Regret - Responsibility
Mr Birling uses money to demonstrate how much he'd like things to be different. It shows he is money-
centred. It shows he takes some responsibility, but only a bit.
A man has to mind his own business and look after himself and his own. ✔️✔️MR BIRLING
Responsibility
