Religion: sin, morality and punishment in 'An Inspector Calls'

'An Inspector Calls' could be interpreted as a religious allegory. The seven deadly sins are reflected in the characters' actions and their moral failings. The themes of purgatory and judgment are explored through the characters' unresolved guilt. The Inspector embodies biblical justice, revealing truth, prompting confessions, and warning of consequences. Priestley critiques the law, suggesting moral accountability is more important than legal justice.
