Narrative voice and subjective truth in 'An Inspector Calls'

Priestley uses multiple narrators to show how truth is subjective and shaped by bias. The fragmented narrative encourages the audience to question the reliability of each account. Arguably, Priestley uses this technique to critique class inequality and the lack of moral introspection. The Inspector could be interpreted as an unreliable narrator in how he controls the narrative. The use of multiple character narration and a fragmented narrative can be linked to political theatre traditions.
