Like domesticated animals, the American consumer lived and depended on the American financial system, blissfully choosing to ignore the excessiveness of their lifestyles and allowing a system they have no control over to dictate their survival. I agree with Christina J , It was the spirit of her father , he made them feel morally responsible for her death ! From watching the BBC 2015 adaptation, I was more convinced that the Inspector was of supernatural origin. when he finish the reading. Humans would learn compassion of their own volition, or they would be forced into submission by fire, blood and anguish for their apathy. If the Inspector were not a ghoul, and really was a police inspector, why didn't he follow procedure - the procedure he appeared to follow upon arrival at the Birling residence. It was the death of the thing that he professed to love above all other things. His wife had a fondness and an acidity about her, like she knew all along that this emotional bankruptcy was happening, and was powerless to stop it. Even though he loved the dog, he made no room for it in his life, until it was too late. When Eva Smith, or whoever you like to call her, looked out of the window of her bedroom she could not see the Inspector - yet, he can see her. An Inspector Calls - Plot summary. I personally think that the inspector may be a ghost who was Priestley's mouthpiece and if he was a real inspector he wouldn't be that intimidating because if he was the normal police inspector he would have been respectful to the Birlings considering the class that they had and furthermore if Goole was a real inspector when he heard the name Gerald Croft as Mr. Birling had said that he was well-known person thanks to his father's business he would have been more polite. I would also love to hear any other speculations over the ending of the play that anybody has. An Inspector Calls is a 2015 British thriller television film written by Helen Edmundson, based on the J. It is set in the early 1900s and focuses around a well-off family. Some of Jesus' last words on earth was to love one another as He loved us. i think you need to watch the movie then you can find the answer. This is because he earlier cautions them about their ignorance and says they will be met with fire, blood, and anguish (which I will simply refer to as death). I thought it just meant the dog that he loved had died. Finally, if you haven't yet watched the BBC's 2015 adaptation of An Inspector Calls, I strongly reccomend it. I can't give you the detailed response you are asking for. and the job he devoted his life to in her place had failed him, he was now totally and utterly alone. Unfortunately this is only a short answer forum space. If you completely disagree, please do so respectfully :P. I'd love to hear your opinions/agreements/disagreements/alternate interpretations!

She sees him for the first time as she is dying, even though he was close to her numerous times leading up to her drinking the cleanser. and i also know that the "goole" name came from ghost. honestly, I didn't see the dog as any kind of metaphor for anything - for me, I thought the subtext with the dog was that it was pretty much the only meaningful relationship Sam had with another living creature - I thought the fact he brought the dog "home," to a house in which he is no longer welcome, highlighted this inability to connect with people any more - when Sullivan asks him if he's spoken to his son (who works with them) about any of what was happening (prior to the Fire Sale), he says the idea hadn't even occurred to him. For me, I saw the death of the dog as a literal representation of the "death" or "sacrifice" of the American consumer. ( sorry for y bad english). when you say Costner you mean Spacey, right - perhaps seeing Mary McDonnell confused you? I saw the film as a near-documentary, with the dog and ex-wife as personal problems/issues/opportunities that were always secondary to work. In which case, when, right at the end of the play, we see that a girl has died as a result of suicide at the infirmary, how would an ordinary, Metropolitan Police inspector know to visit the Birlings and question them? You have a lot of insight here. he quickly running and try to save eva smith, insopector takes to hospital her but she can't alive.....so then the inspector call mr.briling and he said that inspector own his way, he coming mr.birling house. Injecting money into a system that has been coddled by the government? I would also love to hear any other speculations over the ending of the play that anybody has. The entire play is, perhaps, a 'simulation'. I tend to agree with both jayhawkai and you. However, the fact that she cannot see him doesn't fit with this theory. An Inspector Calls Analysis by JB Priestley - Setting, Dramatic Irony, Language, Ending. i just know that inspector was came from future. I think Goole came to the Birlings to show them the right way to behave and since they didn't do what the inspector had said they received a phone call at the end of the play and Goole would have come to bring justice to Eva/Daisy Renton that's what I think hope it helped. After obtaining the diary he felt it his duty to hold them morally responsible for her passing. To me, it seemed that she had a sense of remembered love for him, as well as the smugness of being proved right about the sacrifices demanded of their relationship. An Inspector Calls is a play in three acts, set in Brumley, an English manufacturing town, in 1912. How did you guys interpret the ending? An Inspector Calls by J B Priestley, is a play that revolves around the apparent suicide of a young woman called Eva Smith.. If he were a ghoul, who was all-knowing, why did he choose to target the Birlings? B. Priestley 1945 play of the same name.It is directed by Aisling Walsh, produced by Howard Ella and stars David Thewlis as the titular character. Any response is appreciated - I am just not sure what to think of the ending. Or anyone else?? After they start the whole financial crash, an amazingly selfish act, Spacey has to go dig a whole and bury the only thing he cared for. Additionally, I feel that Bettany's speech/tirade on the ride back to the offices the morning of the "event" gives weight to this argument as well. The idea of the inspector being a being who could tell the future is supported by these facts. You can not go off the BBC adaptation in an exam because that is an ADAPTATION, in the REAL play, Eva is never seen nor speaks, and it all stays in one room.The inspector does not see Eva in the real play, we only says that he has seen her before he came to the Birling's house, so you can not make a judgement on who the inspector is off adaptation you must only go off evidence from the play.With the evidence from the play, it leads me to believe that the Inspector is the ghoul of Eva's dad.We learn that Eva's parents died, and I believe that because of how much care and concern he showed for Eva then he must be related to her along with the fact of his name being Google on the other hand this could be due to his socialist, almost communist views. The bankers generally have an attitude of leaving the consumer out to dry, making them suffer for becoming so dependent on a system they have no part in. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast, Press J to jump to the feed. The story is set in early twentieth-century Britain. My thoughts are that the Inspector was the spirit of her father. It makes sense that the 'Inspector' could have used Eva's diary and a photograph to perform his hoax, and so why other, than being a ghoul, would this being have pretended to be a police inspector. Not only her senseless death, but the fact that she tried numerous times to seek help from the very family that led to her hopelessness, only to be used and cast aside. and they know in the call that inspector own his way he coming in mr.brilings house. Irons has a quote somewhere in the film where he literally mentions "Fat Cats and Starving dogs" which I thought brought some relevance to my interpretation. I had Costner on the brain after work :P. I had another thought after reading your interpretation. And this is why he was an emotionally barren man unable to sustain a relationship with his wife - the cold logic and professional greed of his business life consumed everything nurturing and emotional in his life. What do you guys think? When he had made them regret their actions, he should let Eva know by standing outside her window- then she would know it was time to kill herself. As the classes mixed together during the war due to them having to fight alongside each other, society essentially learnt that they should value each other and treat every class the same the hard way; within the harsh realities of war. Please, I need this information for an assesment. When watching the BBC film adaption, it suggested him to be supernatural. Overall, I believe there is the most evidence for the theory that he personifies death or that he is of supernatural origins.
