Show transcript
Eric is established as a moral voice at the start of the play, but lacks the ability to be assertive. Priestley uses emotive language to portray the impact the Inspector has on Eric. The Inspector appears to be more lenient with Eric and acts as a moral guide. It could be argued that Eric is an unreliable narrator when explaining his involvement with Eva. Tentative language can be used to explore and develop alternative interpretations.
