Inspector Calls "FIRE AND BLOOD AND ANGUISH"

Hello!



Well Year 11 - if you don't know your Inspector Calls quotes by now...then you will learn your lesson in fire and blood and anguish...

Here is some help to get you through that pesky exam. Remember,

Arthur Birling is pompous,
Sybil Birling is worse,
The Inspector comes to shine a moral light
And let the family know they are cursed.

Arthur wants to keep his knighthood,
Sybil denies all blame,
Gerald seems to take some responsibility,
But he's a Capitalist just the same...

They all contributed to the death of Eva Smith,
who represents the poor in society
All Arthur and Sybil care about
Is reputation and Edwardian propriety

But their children Eric and Sheila
Are able to show remorse.
This hints to the audience
That they might follow a different course

And if they adopt socialist views
Instead of the Capitalism of their folks,
They might avoid the Fire and blood and anguish,
of which the Inspector spoke.

There's a poem I just made up about An Inspector Calls to help you remember the plot.
Try making your own - coming up with rhymes will help you to re-think your arguments and points.
Try it for structure and stage directions and themes and quotes as well as characters :)
