Inspector Calls: Dramatic Techniques
Props
Alcahol
Birling
Birling offers the Inspector some Port, he refuses
Resisting Birling's attempt to get him on side.
Eric
Known as a "boy"
Irrisponisble
"squiffy" (drunk)
Gerald
Links to his social class (mother is a lady)
The photograph
Symbol of identity
Is it the same photograph
Diction
E.g. Hysterically
Dashes, repition
Birling (impaitionetly) "yes, yes, horrid buisnuiss."
Setting and Time
All stays the same.
Called dramatic unity
Intensity, claustrophobia
Setting
"Not cosy"
Rigid, formal, apperences
Much like Birling
He is described as solid and heavy
Represents authority, also diffcult to change
Lighting
Pink and intamte
then becomes brighter when the Inspector arrives
could be supernatural
Or that the truth will be revealed, and it will be harsh
Stage Directions
(half serious, half playful)
"That summer when you never came near me."
Idea of hidden secrets
Severly
Juxtaposition to joke, hidden tension
Doubling
Eva getting tortured in different ways
Chain- cause and effect
Intensifies it
Language
Collqual
E.g squiffy
quite a fun word
The Birlings don't take bad behavior seriously
Euphimism
E.g. Squiffy
Does not dirgectly says he's drunk
Birlings use alot of euphismisms
But the inspector is very direct
Dashes
During the text= fragmented
At the end of the sentence = cut off, idea of the unspeakable
Repition
"I have done enough to enter this family havn't I? (Pause) Havn't I?"
