Mrs Sybil Birling
Mrs Birling is 'her husband's social superior' and yet she lacks the same status and power due to gender inequality in society.
She encourages Sheila to just put up with the sexism they have to deal with in 1912, with no thought to change things for the better.
Linking to her social class, Mrs Birling expects her status-and Mr Birling's authority and wealth-to solve problems.
Mrs Birling is one of the last family to meet, and be interrogated by The Inspector. She completely refuses to take any responsibility for what happened to Eva and judges her for being poor, unmarried and getting into a difficult situation.

Sheila
-
-
-
Sheila is presented as quite naive and childish initially. She seems ignorant of the wider society and the language she uses is quite childish.
Breaks off the engagement to Gerald after finding out about his affair with Daisy Renton (Eva Smith)
-
Gerald Croft
-
He's slightly older than Sheila and Eric, but much younger than the Birlings. He sides with Mr Birling when it comes to class and wealth.
Gerald is also content to lie to Sheila consistently and expects her to put up with him hiding things
He does, however, admit what he did to Eva (or Daisy as he knew her). In trying to explain his actions he comes across as more of an ignorant person than anything more serious.
