Lesson outcome

I can explain how ‘An Inspector Calls’ explores ideas around crime, morality and class.

Show transcript
Priestley explores both legal and moral crimes. Characters face moral reckoning, not legal consequences, highlighting self-awareness as punishment. Eric’s character could suggest that moral accountability is more important than legal punishment for Priestley. The play reveals how class affects perceptions of crime. Priestley critiques the legal system and advocates for social justice over legal frameworks.
