Resumen del Recurso
Arthur Birling
A successful businessman
Well respected
Owns a factory
Head of the Birling family
Only bothered about money and power and can't think about anything or anybody else
Ambitious: "there's a very good chance of a knighthood"
Selfish: "a man has to make his own way"
Business-minded: "a hard-headed, practical man of business"
Anxious: "there'll be a public scandal - unless we're lucky"
Won't accept responsibility for the death of Eva smith
Theme of social responsibility
Sees other people as "cheap labour"
Obsessed with his status
When his good name is threatened he's terrified
Would "give thousands" (a bribe) to avoid scandal
He is a public figure in Brumley
Isn't used to being challenged
The Inspector barely says twenty words before Birling shows "a touch of impatience"
"Silly little war scares"
Priestley uses dramatic irony to make his optimism seem foolish
Undermines his authority
Underneath it all, Birling is an anxious man
Desperately tries to win the Croft's approval
Tries to make himself seem important by drawing attention to his connections with influential people
Uses authoritative language to be in control
Priestley writes that Birling should be "provinvial in his speech", which means he has a regional accent
Accent and social class were closely linked
Makes it clear that he is a middle-class businessman, rather than upper-class
Has the most continuous speech in the play
"just let me finish, Eric"
Repeatedly shouts "Rubbish!" to dismiss what other people have said
