Age
The older generation are old-fashioned
Priestley presents the Birling’s as having traditional views
Represent the views of the ruling class
Priestley questions their obsession with class
The younger generation are different
Ambitious, determined and motivated
‘had a lot to say - far too much’
Challenge the authority of elders
‘better keep quiet’
Chance for equal and fair society
Gerald’s the oldest young man around
Closer to Sheila and Eric than Mr and Mrs Birling
Marriage to Sheila is for business
Agrees with Birling
Doesn’t learn anything
Doesn’t feel guilty
Thinks his engagement’s back on
‘Everything’s alright now, Sheila’
A more caring future isn’t inevitable
