Sheila has been brought up in a middle class family to be refined and marriable. Yet, contrastingly, this upbringing may have made her spoilt and spiteful. ]]> 2016-10-27 17:08:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ishkalilyxox/3cjkqjc7zr36/wish/133700248 ishkalilyxox https://padlet.com/ishkalilyxox/3cjkqjc7zr36/wish/133706915 Sheila is engaged to Mr Birlings business rivals' son, as a power play. Gerald her fiance is already been found out as unfaithful and Sheila is less compliantly submissive as you would expect. And actually threatens him to "be careful" when she is told not to question him. ]]> 2016-10-27 17:23:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ishkalilyxox/3cjkqjc7zr36/wish/133706915 ishkalilyxox https://padlet.com/ishkalilyxox/3cjkqjc7zr36/wish/133710619 Women were seen as mothers and housewives, expected to submit and do as they were told. Sheila shows both sides of this through the change as she grows up and accept responsibility]]> 2016-10-27 17:32:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ishkalilyxox/3cjkqjc7zr36/wish/133710619 ishkalilyxox https://padlet.com/ishkalilyxox/3cjkqjc7zr36/wish/134032044 1912 + 1945

Although slightly infantile she is a perfect example of a rich young girl in that generation.  Although she has suspicions of Geralds' actions she is 'excited' and puts aside her accusations. But when she is forced to realise, through the inspector, that she is partly responsible for a girls suicide. Her whole persona changes, she becomes less and less subservient. Defying her parents and fiancee. Sheila is what would be called, a 'dynamic character' she goes through important changes. These changes almost represent the fluctuation of society at the time. She knows what's going on better than almost any character, except Mr. Goole. At the beginning of Act 2, she even argues with her mother saying, "You mustn't try and build up a kind of wall between us and that girl. If you do, then the Inspector will just break it down."]]> 2016-10-29 11:26:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ishkalilyxox/3cjkqjc7zr36/wish/134032295 ishkalilyxox https://padlet.com/ishkalilyxox/3cjkqjc7zr36/wish/134032710 2016-10-29 11:40:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ishkalilyxox/3cjkqjc7zr36/wish/134032710 ishkalilyxox https://padlet.com/ishkalilyxox/3cjkqjc7zr36/wish/134033712 In 1912 there was a strong patriarchal society, in which women are meant to be submissive to the dominance of males. Women such as Mrs Birling play this game and are extremely subservient, relying on the male for all of the money and protection they need. From the first page you realise that although Sheila has grown up in this society she alreafy has a natural rebellious side. She stands up to Mr Birling and Gerals a surprising ammount within even the first couple of pages. Constrastingly, at the same time there was becoming more and more support for womens rights. Most famously the Suffregette movement began its protest around this time and many women of Sheilas' class either led or joined it. So her attitude towards patriarchy is a symbolism for the attitude of some women at the time.]]> 2016-10-29 12:07:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ishkalilyxox/3cjkqjc7zr36/wish/134033712 ishkalilyxox https://padlet.com/ishkalilyxox/3cjkqjc7zr36/wish/134033954 2016-10-29 12:16:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ishkalilyxox/3cjkqjc7zr36/wish/134033954 ishkalilyxox https://padlet.com/ishkalilyxox/3cjkqjc7zr36/wish/134033971 2016-10-29 12:16:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ishkalilyxox/3cjkqjc7zr36/wish/134033971 ishkalilyxox https://padlet.com/ishkalilyxox/3cjkqjc7zr36/wish/134033989 2016-10-29 12:17:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ishkalilyxox/3cjkqjc7zr36/wish/134033989
