Exploring the Inspector as an archetype in 'An Inspector Calls'

Priestley reimagines the maverick detective to expose moral corruption, not solve a crime. The Inspector embodies the rogue archetype—committed to justice beyond the law and unafraid to challenge authority. Priestley reshapes this archetype to serve his political message on class and responsibility. Using archetypes doesn’t limit originality but helps explore universal themes in new ways. The Inspector's interrogation style reflects the maverick archetype in its authoritative and relentless style.
