Perfect contextual Introduction:
When considering the significance of Priestley’s presentation of the theme/character of
…………… in his play An Inspector Calls it is crucial to remember the playwright’s didactic
moral purpose. Fortunately, we are constantly reminded of this thanks to Inspector Goole
acting as Priestley’s moral mouthpiece. Set on the night the Titanic sank in 1912, but first
performed just after the end of World War II in 1945, the drama illustrates how urgently
Priestley wanted to help ‘win the peace’ after Britain had won the war by building a fairer
and more equal society that offered a ‘land fit for heroes to live in’. His vision of a
socialist future contrasts strongly with the time period in which the action of the play takes
place, 1912, in which social injustice and inequality was rampant and the capitalism
represented on stage by Arthur Birling dominates. The theme/character of …………. is
highly relevant to Priestley’s moral message because…….
Perfect Contextual Conclusion:
In conclusion, the theme/character of………….is of huge significance within An Inspector
Calls because it links in so closely with Priestley’s core message that ‘we don’t live alone’
and ‘we are responsible for each other’. The foundation of the Welfare State by the
1945-1951 Labour Government after their landslide General Election win shows how
widespread and popular Priestley’s socialist views were, and how far his play captures the
spirit of the time period in which it was written.
