Inspector

• The inspector: 'I didn't do it, she's upsetting herself'
• The inspector: 'Millions and millions and millions of Eva Smith's and John Smith's still left with us'
• The inspector: 'We are members of one body, we are responsible for each other'
• The reference to 'one body' is a metaphor for society
• The inspector: 'The time will soon come when if men will not learn that lesson then they will be taught it in fire and blood and anguish'
• The repetition of 'will' implies the inevitability of the consequences
• The list of 'fire and blood and anguish' highlights the dramatic consequences of humanity's inability to change
• There is dramatic irony as the audience knows the Capitals and Falls leading to two world wars in the years that follow
