This page provides an overview of the main themes in J.B. Priestley's play "An Inspector Calls" along with relevant quotes that illustrate these themes. The themes are color-coded and include gender, class, responsibility, change, and age .
Highlight: The central themes of the play are interconnected, often with quotes reflecting multiple themes simultaneously.
The theme of responsibility is central to the play, emphasizing the interconnectedness of society and individual actions.
Quote: "We don't live alone. We are members of one body. We are responsible for each other. And I tell you that the time will soon come when if men will not learn that lesson, then they will be taught it in fire and blood and anguish." - Inspector
This powerful quote encapsulates the play's core message about social responsibility and the consequences of ignoring it.
Class distinctions and their impact on characters' attitudes and behaviors are prominently featured.
Quote: "Girls of that class-" - Sybil Birling
This incomplete quote suggests Mrs. Birling's classist attitudes, which influence her treatment of Eva Smith.
Gender roles and expectations are explored throughout the play, often intersecting with class issues.
Quote: "I left'em talking about clothes again. You'd think a girl had never any clothes before she gets married. Women are potty about 'em."
This quote reflects stereotypical views about women's interests and priorities.
The play contrasts the attitudes of the older and younger generations, particularly in their response to the Inspector's revelations.
Quote: "Unlike the other three, I did nothing I'm ashamed of or that won't bear investigation."
This quote likely comes from one of the younger characters, showing a different perspective from the older generation.
The theme of change is evident in how characters react to the Inspector's interrogation and the potential for personal growth.
Quote: "You seem to be a nice well-behaved family" - Inspector
This ironic statement from the Inspector hints at the changes that will occur within the family during the course of the play.
Highlight: The play uses dramatic irony extensively, particularly in Mr. Birling's statements about the Titanic and the impossibility of war.
The play critiques capitalist ideologies and suggests more socialist perspectives.
Quote: "A man has to make his own way- has to look after himself-and his family, too, of course, when he has one-and so long as he does that he won't come to much harm." - Arthur Birling
This quote represents the capitalist mindset that the play challenges.
Vocabulary: Dramatic Irony - A literary device where the audience knows something that the characters do not, often used for comedic or tragic effect.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
