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.

An Inspector Calls quotes

  • The Inspector: There are millions and millions of Eva Smiths and John Smiths still left with us, with their lives, their hopes and fears, their suffering and chance of happiness, all intertwined with our lives in what we think and say and do. We don't live alone upon this earth. We are members of one body. We are responsible for each other. And if mankind will not learn that lesson, then the time will, soon, when he will be taught it in fire and blood and anguish.

  • [first lines]

    Man: Do you believe in God?

    Woman: Yes.

    Man: How can you?

    Woman: I can't believe in people. I have to believe in something, or I'd fall - fall down through the cracks. Never stop falling.
