Question 1: How does the Inspector treat the Birling family?

# data[].attributes.body
The Inspector does not treat the Birling's the same way as they are expected to be treated by the society. They belong to the upper class and are stereotypically expected to be respected in all ways and should not be questioned for their acts. The inspector does not really care if they belong to the upper class as he asks questions like 'why?' which puts off Arthur Birling as he does not expect such questions to be asked to him.
The inspector does not consider  their power over society and thats why he can be seen intimidating  them. He is quite imposing and intimidating and has the guts to interrupt in between the 'Birlings' speech, ' (cutting through, massively)'.  Despite of these points, he is not disrespectful towards them and is just solely doing his work not caring about the hierarchical differences.

Eric:"He could. He could have kept her on instead of throwing her out. I call it tough luck. "
Here Eric interrupts and acknowledges that Mr Birling could partially be responsible however, he compares Eva Smith's death to something like a game of 'luck'
Possibly Priestly's way of saying younger generations can make a change?

"(rather impatiently) Yes, yes. Horrid business. But I don't understand why you should come here, Inspector – ". Builds on the theme that Mr Birling as a middle aged man is very "inpatient" and can get easily annoyed and grumpy. He's annoyed because he constantly feels victimised by the inspectors assumptions regarding Mr Birling 'being' part of an assassination.  Priestley emphasises his annoyance as Birling ends his speech mentioning the Inspector's name and uses the repetition of "Yes, yes" which can make the reader think he's trying to get rid of the inspectors constant questions.

The Inspector's sombre appearance in the play is in sharp contrast to the Birling family. There is an air of celebration in the room before he arrives bearing with him the news of the dead child. From then on, it is now the inspector who controls everything. - (puppet master?)

- “I can’t accept any responsibility.”
-  'Rather impatiently'
- "Perhaps I ought to warn you that that [the Chief Constable is] and old friend of mine. We play golf together."
- “I don’t like your tone nor the way you’re handling this enquiry.”
- “Rubbish! If you don’t come down sharply on some of these people, they’d soon be asking for the earth.”

3: During the confrontation between the inspector and the family the younger generations give a response that people would usually doe.g horror, saddening and cruel. Yet when Mr Birling talks about it he passes over it like it is nothing at one point describing a girl who just killed herself "wretched". The play writer may have down this to highlight how cruel and cold the rich (capitalist driven people our) furthermore he may have made the younger generation more open minded to represent how it is the younger generations that will be the ones that have to fix things

He could. He could have kept her on instead of throwing her out. I call it tough luck.
"thinks that his dad was way too harsh."

Birling: Rubbish! If you don't come down sharply on some of these people, they'd soon be asking for the earth.

The inspector talks to the Birling family in very cold tone and treating them not as the rich but the same as other people (he doesn't care how rich the family is). "Its my duty to ask questions" The inspector said. He doesn't stutter and is very confident in what he is saying, and isn't disempowered by the rich. (Most of the time the rich can be very demanding but the inspector doesn't feel afraid of them)
