An Inspector Calls - 100x100 GRID What does Eva Smith change her name to when she meets Gerald? ️️Daisy Renton How does Eric act towards Eva when he goes with her to her lodgings? ️️He acts nastily, insists on going in and "threatens to make a row." What evidence does Gerald have for thinking of that Eva Smith may have been more than one person? ️️Because no girl had been brought into the infirmary, having drunk disinfectant, in order to commit suicide. The photograph, also, and the fact that the Inspector was not a police officer, is what makes Gerald want to investigate. "We've no proof it was the same photograph and therefore no proof it was the same girl." Why is Birling wrong when he says Gerald and Sheila will be marrying at a good time? ️️Because even though the miners are on strike, and there is talk about potential labour trouble to come, he says that they've "passed the worst of it", which is dramatic irony because there was then a massive general strike. What did the workers at Birling's company want their rates raised to? ️️25 shillings a week (from about "twenty-two and six"). Which character or characters show penitence for their actions? ️️Sheila and Eric (and Gerald a little bit) 'Go and look for the ----- of the child. It's his -----.' ️️"Go and look for the father of the child. It's his responsibility." (Mrs. Birling). What does 'provincial in speech' mean? ️️ Why does the doorbell (signifying the Inspector's arrival) ring at the precise moment it does? ️️It signifies the shift of power from Birling to the Inspector before he even enters the scene. Also, in the dialogue, which the doorbell interrupts, Mr. Birling is dismissing the idea of community and socialism. This is ironic because the Inspector is all about helping others, and is very much a socialist throughout, whereas Birling is a capitalist. This shows their conflict between them also. How is Eric described in the opening stage directions? ️️"Eric is in his early twenties, not quite at ease, half shy, half assertive.". Assertive means confident, and so it is like Eric is half confident, but also half timid too because, I think, he feels a pressure to say and to not say certain things when his father is present. And so half the time, he comes out with it, like "My God!", and other times he keeps it hidden, "(As ERIC does not reply)". Why is Birling wrong when he says Russia will 'always be behind naturally'? ️️Because in 1917, Russia had a revolution which then modernised them and moved them forward to be like other countries. How many 'Eva Smiths and John Smiths' does the Inspector say there are? ️️"But there are millions and millions and millions of Eva Smiths and John Smiths still left with us,". Which adjective is used to describe Mrs Birling in the opening stage directions? ️️Cold. ("His wife is about fifty, a rather cold woman and her husband's social superior." What was the relationship like between Sheila and Gerald the summer before the play begins? ️️They had an, almost, distant relationship because Gerald said that he had to work all summer, and so the two never really saw each other. Really, Gerald was having an affair with Daisy Renton (a.k.a. Eva Smith). How much money does Eric give Eva? ️️£50 (stolen from his dad's office). What is the Inspector's name? ️️Inspector Goole. What is meant by 'new money'? ️️Money that a person has earned, not inherited.

Who is Alderman Meggarty? ️️Alderman, or Joe Meggarty, is a council member, and a "notorious womanizer", who went to see prostitutes, for not-nice reasons. How does Birling try to intimidate the Inspector? ️️By boasting about high-class positions that he has been, "I was an alderman for years - and Lord Mayor two years ago - and I am still on the Bench - so I know the Brumley police officers pretty well - ". The fact that Birling mentions that he knows all the police officers also shows him trying to intimidate the Inspector because he is saying that he knows a lot. How did Eva Smith secure her job at Milwards shop? ️️Influenza was around, and the Milwards staff list was suddenly very low, and so they gave Eva a chance at the job.

Which character is impoverished in the play? ️️(impoverished: 'made poor') Eva Smith What is capitalism? ️️"Capitalism is an economic system. It is a system for dealing with money and wealth.

What could 'fire and blood and anguish' be alluding to? ️️War, in particular, the Blitz, and death. How does Sheila show elements of materialism through the play? ️️ Where does Gerald go when he leaves the interrogation? ️️He goes for a walk.
