    The inspector has no societal or economic class that he conforms to, choosing explicitly to distance himself from class based ideals that the birlings have (the whole I don’t play golf thing) because priestly isn’t just criticising the upper classes, he is advocating for a classless society. Also the idea that Inspector goole sounds like a ghost furthers this idea, as if the inspector is a ghost, in the afterlife there is no class driven society, only alike souls. Similar to ideas in a Christmas carol

    • @DystopiaJunkie
      @DystopiaJunkie  4 роки тому

      You're very welcome! It's tricky to say how many themes there are for certain, as it's open to interpretation! But I'd say the five I've made videos for (social responsibility, class, gender, age, and power) cover the play pretty well!

    Anyways, I thought the Birling family were upper class? This is because you have Mrs. Birling who is an upper class married to the middle/upper-class Mr. Birling?

    • @DystopiaJunkie
      @DystopiaJunkie  3 роки тому +3

      They're upper-middle (i.e. towards the top end of middle class) because of Mr B. A marriage would sort of 'average out' the class of the two people being married, but would be skewed more in the direction of the husband. Upper class is more for royalty, aristocrats, and people with (lots of) land.

    Your video has been very helpful but how do you properly structure inspector calls’ essays?

    • @DystopiaJunkie
      @DystopiaJunkie  3 роки тому

      - An overview / introduction of the theme or character across the play.
      - 3-5 paragraphs (whichever paragraph type you normally use), making sure that you go in text order (start at the start; end at the end), slotting in any given extract accordingly if given one!
      - A short conclusion, but ONLY if you have time! Finished main paragraphs are much more important.
