Are the aims and methods of the Inspector those of the usual policemen? Explain.

The aims and methods of the inspector are for sure not those of a usual policeman because a normal policeman would not investigate a suicide case for simply not having enough time for investigating such a thing which is obviously no crime. Investigating a su

I think the author represents the inspector. I think so because this is the only explanation for him writing such a drama. The author wants the reader to think about the responbility of people even if they aren't guilty in legal sense. He wants to make clear peoples' dependence on so called more important people and people with more influence. I also think he wants to accuse employees' social rights in Great Britain at the beginning of the 20th century. He does that by using a - for our today's view - small reason for having the employer Mr Birling discharge Eva Smith. The dependence on people with more influence is clearly shown by having Sheila just say one word to make the fashion shop owner discharge the so called Eva. With Gerald's affair with Sheila he shows the arrogance of rich people towards poor people and with Mrs Birling's denying Eva's trying to get welfare for having a baby makes clear the not existing moral in the upper class.

The discovery that the inspector wasn't a real policeman makes a big difference to Mr and Mrs Birling. They were just worrying about their position in society for the case that the inspector made public the results of his investigation. But at the end they have found out that the inspector isn't a policeman and that makes them indifferent towards the whole affair. They are glad not to be legally punishable for their behaviour towards Eva Smith and therefore do not care about any moral consequences they should care about. To Sheila and Gerald it makes a big difference because they have found out that there is not any trust between them any more after Gerald's confessing to having had an affair with the so called Eva Smith. For Eric it makes a big difference, too, because he knows that his parents who in any cas
