Mystery and Conflict in An Inspector Calls


            Mystery plays are one of my favorite things to watch, under Netflix. These plays keep my brain thinking about the situation and what will come next; they have plot twists every time you think you've figured it out. When I went to see An Inspector Calls, I had no idea what it was about or what I was getting myself into. My attention was on every single detail from start to finish. The theme wasn't clear until about the end of the play, where the inspector starts talking about how treating people around you is important. (You never know what role you'll have in their death.)

As Goole, the inspector, was leaving, he started talking about how actions have consequences and how all people are intertwined into one society. Before he left he said, "If men will not learn that lesson, then they will be taught it in fire and blood and anguish." What I got from that was that people don't understand what their actions might cause to others. For example, let's say you try to help someone and after a while you let them go, without caring about their feelings. You give them money and some other things that you think will be enough, but then you find out how they were killed or committed suicide. You'd be blamed for it; or at least be blamed for a playing a part in their death. In the play, Mr. Goole revealed everyone that played a part in Eva Smith's (also known as Daisy Renton) death. The inspector was trying to teach the rich family to think before they act, because, again, they never know what part they'll play in someone's death. .
