Sheila Birling

• "These girls arent cheap labour"


  her father was using her for socio-economic gain

  sheltered from reality (how her father treats workers)
• "We are not the same people that sat down tonight"


  alone in her responsibility, encourages the others to do so

  disapproves of her parents and geralds lack of remorse
• What is Sheila like at the start?

  indifferent to social hypocrisy

  vain, resented eva for a gown that she could not carry off
• What is Sheila like at the end?

  she is the inspectors proxy

  will accept any blame for evas death

  affected by the inspectors revelations about family and sociality
