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.



What is Eric and Eva's baby symbolic of? ✔️✔️
