An analysis of how the appalling social conditions of 1940s England influenced J.B Priestley's 'An Inspector Calls'. The narrator discusses the lack of access to education and poor sanitation of the time. Such conditions are magnified when extracts of the play are featured and we become increasingly aware of the pomposity of the Birling family. We focus on the characters of Sheila and Eric Birling and see extracts from a stage performance of the play. Interviews with the characters explore their contributions towards Eva's death and their redeeming features. The relevance of the play today and its idealistic nature are examined.
