An Inspector Calls - Least responsibility for the death of eva smith
Who Do You Think Bears The Least Responsibility For The Death Of Eva Smith?
The inspector calls takes you through an eye opening voyage on the death of a girl named Eva Smith, as well as how a family reacts when they know their involvement in the death. The Birling family as well as the soon to be husband (Gerald Croft) of the daughter Sheila, one by one are bestowed with guilt despite some refusing to believe they’re own responsibility. Very importantly we learn how each character has mistreated a poor girl and then crucially how they react to this. Though the girl subject to this as they find out may not have actually died, this changes some of the group’s views which results in a family backlash. However, if Eva Smith, Daisy Renton and the girl who came to the Brumley women's council were all the same girl, and she subsequently died because of their actions, which character was the least responsible for her death?
The first person to experience the effortless wrath of the inspector is Mr Birling, who is easily recognisable as the most stubborn of the lot. Instantly he tries to intimidate the inspector by rather cockily stating his past and present positions such as his time as Lord Mayor as well as his continued place on the Bench. Unlike many people Mr Goole stays calm and even emerges as the most dominate figure in the room almost immediately with ease. After Birling notices this he begins to show a bit more intolerance or ‘impatience’ as it says in the stage directions. Mr Birling’s part in the death is effectively starting off a chain reaction.
Eva was a worker in his factory at a time when the lower class were beginning to speak out about the cruelties of their lives and their work. The suffragettes were a growing voice since 1903 when they were formed. Trade unions were growing increasingly large with strikes happening thick and fast, with two years before being dubbed as ‘the great unrest’.
