Sheila
® Sheila is initially portrayed as ‘a pretty girl in her early twenties, very
pleased with life’. This develops and matures during the course of the
play, following her acknowledgement of the part she played in Eva’s
death. Sheila’s jealous instincts are replaced by a sense of maturity at
the end of the play
® The audience is encouraged by Priestly to relate to Sheila and
identify with her view of increased social responsibility. Priestly infuses
Sheila’s language with rhetorical devices, which resonates with the
audience, ‘you knew it then, You began to learn. And now you’ve
stopped.’ This group of three is memorable from the Inspectors’ terse
(short) and direct accusations
® Priestly wants Sheila to be the focus of the audience and who they
find most likeable, and Priestly achieves this as he allows Sheila to take
over the role of the his proxy (represents the Inspector )once he
departs. Priestley’s intention here is that the audience will emulate
(match) Sheila and also take one extra social responsibility. Without
Sheila being a likeable character, the message of socialism is diluted
and thus less effective as the audience would be less willing to take
on board the Inspector’s message and reform themselves
