A clear-cut left-wing literary and artistic work

An Inspector Calls is one of the three most popular plays in the West End (the other two are The Mousetrap and The Woman in Black), and it embraces the essence of drama - through refinement and exaggeration to reflect or indictment of reality. Maybe you will say that this plot is too coincidental. In fact, literary and artistic works have never said that they must be true to help them express their core ideas. Dramatic exaggeration is often necessary. The "sin" committed by the characters in the play is not a big deal to be honest, but they complement each other and cause a girl's death. Although it is exaggerated that the whole family is related to this girl, the crimes they have committed are those of many of us, which is the real meaning of this show.

The dead girl had a different name, and the detective took the photo to identify them at different times, and the family was not sure whether they were in contact with the same person. However, in the 2015 film version, out of the film's advantages, the story of the dead girl told by the family is shown in pictures, and the actress of the girl is the same person. It's almost a coffin that they are highly coincidental and have something to do with this girl. I think the answer that keeps the original open is better because it's more universal and true to the fact that it reflects that there are countless girls like this in the world who suffer misfortune at any time due to social injustice and the sins of others.



The play clearly expresses the left-wing views in the literary and art circles: accusing exploitation and class antagonism. The superficial point is that the wine and meat of Zhumen stink, and the road has frozen bones. Of course, it stands on a higher level: one is that there is an existence somewhere watching what we do; the other is that as a part of human beings, each of us must be responsible for each other (We are responsible for each other). But how is "responsible" achieved? Is it to help each other, rob the rich to help the poor, everyone is happy together, and the world is harmonious; or is it to teach people how to fish, encourage diligence, and become self-reliant, rich is the reward of diligence, and poverty is the responsibility of laziness? This is the difference between the left and the right.
