"An Inspector calls" takes place in 1912‚ where there are great social divisions and distinctions. Written by JB Priestley in 1945 this allows for hindsight which eventually leads to dramatic irony. There are many examples of this‚ all of which are said by Mr Birling‚ "Just because the Kaiser makes a speech or two‚ you’ll hear some people saying that war is inevitable.
