An Inspector Calls
  • Useful Quotes

    An Inspector Calls has only 6 main characters. That's great for social distance rules... and for learning quotes!

    (N.B. Eva is dead and Edna represents the invisible working class)


    Here are 5 useful quotes for Mr. Birling: -


    1) 'Unsinkable, absolutely unsinkable' - dramatic irony referring to the Titanic, makes Mr. Birling look daft, conceited and immodest.


    2) 'Community and all that nonsense' - he's sneering in an arrogant, contemptuous tone showing that he has a narrow view of collective responsibility.


    3) 'not the kind of father a chap could go to when he’s in trouble' - Eric expresses the kind of relationship they have: uncaring, unsympathetic and without affection.


    4) 'I like a good cigar' - a status symbol at that time; power, success and wealth.


    5) 'There’ll be a public scandal’ - he demonstrates no guilt. Even in Act 3 he conveys more concern over covering up the embarrassing revelations which could affect his business and knighthood than taking any responsibility for Eva's death.
