The sin is that the bourgeois patriarch cares not about human life but about his own reputation and possible punishment.
The drama was very strong. The agony of the family, especially the family members, during the interrogation by the detective seemed a bit hypocritical. After they left, it was logical for them to hide their crimes. But as I said, it's true that Eric was the only one who committed the crime.
The characters' personalities are very distinct, the evil of the parents is undoubtedly exposed, and there is still goodness in the children, which is probably the author's hope for the new generation. As for whether this hope is meaningful, whether good can overcome evil, there is a public opinion.

    The value foundation of the whole story is completely pure personality, which is simply impossible. In my opinion, the hostess and son-in-law do not need to blame themselves at all. The Little Reversal is dramatic, thanks to the original play. Why the fake detective let the Birling family look at the photos in turn is still a mystery. The death of the heroine does not feel tragic, it is just fate

An Inspector Calls quotes

  • Arthur Birling: [about his workers] If you don't come down hard on some of these people, they'll soon be asking for the earth.

    Gerald Croft: [obsequiously] That's right.

    The Inspector: They might. But it's better to ask for the earth than to take it.

  • [last lines]

    Arthur Birling: [hanging up the phone] A girl has died. Suicide. A police inspector is on his way to ask us some questions.
