Dishonest: He is dishonest to Shelia about him meeting with Eva.

"I'm sorry, Shelia. But it was all over and done with, last summer. I hadn't set eyes on the girl for at least six months. I don't come into this suicide business." (Priestly,182)

Generous: He gives Eva a home and money when they were together.

"So I insisted on Daisy[Eva] moving into those rooms and I made her take some money to keep her going there." (Priestly,191)

After:

Honest: Gerald changes during the story and decides to be honest and tell everyone about his relationship with Eva.

"All right - I did for a time. Nearly any man would have done." (Priestly,192)

"Is there anything else you want to know - that you ought to know?"(Priestly,192)]]> 2022-11-18 02:39:59 UTC https://padlet.com/aritat_c/wbx1nrb6970gd456/wish/2389288083 aritat_c https://padlet.com/aritat_c/wbx1nrb6970gd456/wish/2389290357 Love: Gerald loves Eva and therefore he gives her a home and money. 

"So I insisted on Daisy[Eva] moving into those rooms and I made her take some money to keep her going there." (Priestly,191)

"Yes. I suppose it was inevitable. She was young and pretty and warm-hearted - and intensely grateful. I became at once the most important person in her life - you understand?"(Priestly,191)

Business: Gerald marries Shelia for the company her father owns.

"Wouldn't dream of it. In fact, I insist upon being one of the family now. I've been trying long enough, haven't I? Haven't I? You know I have."

During the story he was caught as one of the perpetrators of Eva's death. He has a change of heart in the middle of the story and decides to be honest about his relationship with Eva Smith.

"Yes. I suppose it was inevitable. She was young and pretty and warm-hearted - and intensely grateful. I became at once the most important person in her life - you understand?"(Priestly,191)

Using our background knowledge, we know that 
-Gerald had an affair with Eva, liked being with her and loved her.
-Gerald is talking with Shelia.
-Gerald had lied about Eva in the past.
-Gerald says any man would have loved the attention of a woman

Using our knowledge and evidence, we can infer that Gerald has changed himself and decides to tell Shelia the truth that he had loved Eva Smith in the past instead of lying to her. 

We can also infer that Gerald loved Eva because of the attention Eva would give Gerald.]]> 2022-11-18 02:43:16 UTC https://padlet.com/aritat_c/wbx1nrb6970gd456/wish/2389292477 aritat_c https://padlet.com/aritat_c/wbx1nrb6970gd456/wish/2389293175 Gerald is a dynamic character who had an affair with Eva and lied about it in the past to Shelia. Due to the Inspector, he changes and tells the truth about his relationship with Eva Smith. When he discovers that the Inspector was not an actual inspector, he decides to change back to his old ways and disregard the lessons he had learned.

He is selfish, only caring about something if it directly affects him. We can see he has a conscience, since he nearly changes in Act 2 and would have had he not found out the truth. He is also a bit prosperous, since he owns a company and can afford to give money to Eva. 

Priestly had added this character to maybe show the people believing in capitalism, only focusing on their needs and not others, like Gerald does to Shelia and Eva Smith.]]> 2022-11-18 02:43:54 UTC https://padlet.com/aritat_c/wbx1nrb6970gd456/wish/2389293175
