An Inspector Calls

Act 3
The Inspector leaves
The family are arguing amongst themselves and the inspector interrupts to make a speech about how if we are not responsible for each other there will be terrible consequences. The inspector leaves after this and Gerald enters after a walk outside. He spoke with a police officer and heard that there was no inspector Goole on the force. They also begin to wonder if it was the same girl mentioned to each of them or if it was four or five different girls meaning the whole night could have been a trick. Gerald rings the local infirmary and discovers that no girl who had died drinking disinfectant had been admitted. Mr and Mrs Birling and Gerald are excited by the idea that they may not be to blame, whereas Eric and Sheila still acknowledge they behaved badly whether the inspector was real or not.
Eric's Confession
After Eric admits that it was him who had got Daisy pregnant, Mrs Birling looks very stupid. Like Sheila, he is very ashamed of his actions and is completely honest about his involvement with Daisy. He tells the inspector about his drinking habits and how on a night out he had met Daisy. He admits that the first time they met he walked her home and pressured her into letting him into her lodgings. He slept with her that evening and on a further evening. When he next met Daisy, he found out that he had gotten her pregnant. They both knew they weren’t in love and marriage wasn’t an option due to class difference but Eric wanted to help by giving her some money but when she found out the money was stolen, she refused.
The Phone rings
Just as Mr Birling is mocking the inspector, and is celebrating that he is off the hook, the phone rings. Mr Birling answers and to his horror and shock it was the police. They inform him that a girl had just died drinking disinfectant and a police officer is on their way to ask some questions to the family. The play ends here.
