Interrogate your own soul.

In my opinion, what the inspector represents is the conscience of each of us.
He is tall, his face is serious, and his words are merciless but they point to everyone's heart. He said that every one of them is sweating or dark panic or regretful.
He arrives unexpectedly in the dark like a ghost, and he is like a mountain that makes people have to look up. When he was present, he was in complete control of the situation. Everyone told their own actions and faults. Everyone repented with anxiety. After he left, some people began to try to avoid facing their own faults, and some were still deep. Deeply blame yourself, but some people choose to face it.
Isn't this how each of us reacts when we face the questioning of our own conscience, whether we are indifferent, whether we are arrogant, whether we are jealous, whether we are greedy, and whether we are cowardly.
The inspector may only come once, but conscience will be in our hearts and accompany us throughout our lives.
It is a ubiquitous ghost and a righteous judge. We will never escape the trial of conscience.
Do we have the courage to face our faults? Still cowardly to escape.
Do we have to fulfill our obligations while enjoying our rights? Or just think that you are superior.
Are we able to assume our responsibilities? Still do things with only a moment of fanaticism.
Have we considered the situation of others? It's for selfishness to hurt others.
Do we really have a clear conscience about what we have done? Still just deceiving ourselves.

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.
