Sheila
Several quotes:
Breakdown of these quotes:
How socially responsible is Sheila?
Mr. Birling
Several quotes: "They'd soon be asking for the earth"
Breakdown of these quotes: Hyperbole - Mr Birling likens the working class wanting a pay raise to some glutinous and clamourous need for more, fearing that they would relentlessly ask for more. Of course, in reality, his fear is proportionally-mismatched.
How socially responsible is Arthur? Mr Birling is not very socially responsible because he only cares about himself and his own family, and disregards the pleas for a pay raise by the 'Eva Smiths' of the world.
Inspector Goole
Several quotes: "she needed not only money, but advice, sympathy, and friendliness"
Breakdown of these quotes: Rule of Three - This quote shows how Goole focuses on the most vulnerable in society, the core pillar of social responsibility. Here, he shows how it not simply a monetary barrier that Eva Smith faced, but a more holistic one than what a typical audience at the time likely would have considered.
How socially responsible is Goole? Goole is very socially responsible because he clearly cares about Eva Smith, coming to the Birling family to find out more about her life and her death - he cares about her when no one else does.
Mrs. Birling
Several quotes: "derserving cases"
Breakdown of these quotes: Snobbish tone - this quote reveals lots about Mrs. Birling's views toward the lower/working-class, but she clearly looks down on those which she presumes are less 'worthy' than her and the middle-class.
How socially responsible is Sybil? Mrs. Birling, like her husband, is not very socially responsible as shown when she too did not help Eva Smith, further contributing to her early death by suicide.
