power
-
-
the workers trying to go on strikes but didn't have the power that mr birling had at that time so he didn't mind not paying them until they decided to come back
social class
-
priestley shows social class divide when he's naming the characters as when he names eva smith he gives her smith as a last name because it was seen as a poor name and really common in that time
mr birling being a capitalist priestley made him look really dumb and arrogant about himself and making him act like he knows everything
gender
in the play the whole suicide started because mr birling paid the women workers payed less than all the other workers he had this shows us how all the women were treated differently because of their gender
and when she was fired no one thought there would be any consequences towards this when in reality she ends up in a really bad situation
the men could get away with cheating and women couldn't gerald wants the best looking women but the women cant see the best men
generation gap
in the inspector calls we can see how sheila is treated by her parents that she is still a child and how mrs birling seems to think that none of the blame can go her way mr birling also thinks that because he is older he knows more than eric when in really mr birling was wrong and eric was right
-
sheila and eric agree with present the socialist view and tries to tell the audience that younger agree with socialist views
family life
during the play we can see that the birlings aren't very organised at all as all of them had a part to play in the suicide of eva smith and how mr and mrs birling couldn't control eric since what he did and sheila wasn't taught as a grown up but instead taught more like a child figure
