Quote 1

"What happened to her then may have determined what happened to her afterwards, and what happened to her afterwards may have driven her to suicide. A chain of events." The Inspector outlines how Eva Smith has died and how our small actions can lead to something very big to happen, like the butterfly effect.

Quote 2

"But just remember this. One Eva Smith has gone - but there are millions and millions and millions of Eva Smiths and John Smiths still left with us, with their lives, their hopes and fears, their suffering and chance of happiness, all intertwined with our lives, and what we think and say and do. 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. Good night." This foreshadows World War 2 as the Inspector said that men will be taught with "fire", "blood" and "anguish".

Quote 3

"I'm losing all patience with you people" The Inspector separated himself from the other people by using the word "you", this shows his division from them and view them as a lower being than himself.

Sheila, Gerald, Mr & Mrs Birling and Eric all think there is no need for them to take responsibility of Eva Smith's death.

# data[].attributes.body
The young ones - Sheila and Eric - have completely different values to their parents. It's like a generation gap.

# data[].attributes.body
"Each of you helped to kill her" - Every family member is guilty for Eva's death and therefore they have to take responsibility for it.

Mrs. Birling thinks she is superior to Eva Smith, as she "defines" Eva as "that kind of girl"

# data[].attributes.body
He can interrupt Mr Birling whenever.

# data[].attributes.body
Shelia had Eva fired due to a small conflict between the two. A normal person couldn't have had the power to fire her, but Sheila could because her family was powerful. In a way she exploited the power her family had to get what she wanted

"You don't understand anything. You never did. You never even tried - you"
- Towards the end of the story, Eric is extremely mad and furious at his mother's irresponsibility.

Mr. Birling cares about Gerald/Shiela's marriage rather than Shiela's true feeling

The old perceives the younger ones as fools shown in the quote by Mr.Birling - "Why, you hysterical young fool - get back - or I'll -"

# data[].attributes.body
Eric just ditches Eva when she becomes pregnant. Once those two have a sexual intercourse, the responsibility is shifted to Eva, since she is the one who has a baby. Gender inequality is shown.

# data[].attributes.body
The whole family all screwed Eva Smith other in some way, it shows how they function in unison

# data[].attributes.body
According to Mrs Birling, women should stay home and realise that men are always busy with their work.

# data[].attributes.body
Mr Birling still wants the marriage, after knowing what Gerald has done to Sheila because he wants his status to remain high.
"Now, Sheila, I'm not defending him. But you must understand that a lot of young men--"

Eric and Sheila choose to be honest whereas Mr & Mrs Birling try to cover the truth.

# data[].attributes.body
Eva Smith was not in the same class as the Birling family and Gerald. She represented the low-income working class; the Birlings are the higherclassed people in the society as they are wealthy, as well as having a high social status

# data[].attributes.body
Sheila fires Eva just because she was jealous

# data[].attributes.body
Sheila and Eric took the responsibility of what they've done - Eric "the fact remains that I did what I did."
Whilst Mr and Mrs Birling tried everything to shift the blame and justify what they've done is fine - Mrs.Birling "So I was perfectly justified in advising my committee not to allow her claim for assistance."

# data[].attributes.body
"I was perfectly justified in advising my committee not to allow her claim for assistance" - Mrs Birling abuses her power not to let Eva assistance because Eva called herself 'Mrs Birling'. This shows that she is very selfish and looks down upon lower class.

There is a different in classes between The Birlings and people like eva smith, where the first one represents the rich, and the other represents the poor.

# data[].attributes.body
Sheila uses her power to fire Eva just because her social class is higher than Eva's.

# data[].attributes.body
Age equality was shown through Eric and Sheila teamed up whilst Mr & Mrs Birling teamed up

# data[].attributes.body
Power was shown by the Inspector. Eric wanted to have a drink but his father refuses to let him, but through the convince of the Inspector, his father let him drink. This shows his power and status as powerful.
