Inspector Goole

• "We don't live alone. We are members of one body. We are responsible for each other."

  This quote encapsulates the Inspector’s message of social responsibility and interconnectedness. It challenges the Birlings’ individualistic and selfish attitudes.
• "One Eva Smith has gone - but there are millions and millions and millions of Eva Smiths and John Smiths still left with us."


  The Inspector’s words highlight the ongoing issues of social inequality and injustice. He emphasises that Eva’s story is not unique and that society must change to prevent further suffering.
• "Each of you helped to kill her."

  The Inspector’s blunt accusation forces the Birlings to confront their collective responsibility for Eva’s death. It underscores the play’s central theme of accountability and moral culpability.
