Lesson outcome

I can explain how ‘An Inspector Calls’ can be interpreted as a political text.

Show transcript
‘An Inspector Calls’ can be interpreted as a political manifesto, propaganda and a persuasive drama. The Inspector's language is both didactic, teaching morals, and persuasive, urging reflection on social responsibility. Arguably, Priestley's exaggerated portrayal of the Birlings reinforces his socialist message. The Birlings’ lack of nuance may alienate audiences with opposing views, limiting more complex reflection.
