Inspector Goole

• Inspector Goole


  His character is vague and lacks biographical detail, making him seem more like a moral force than a fully-developed character
• The lack of detail about Inspector Goole reinforces the play's focus on the moral message that we are all responsible for each other
• Rather than what he is, the description of Inspector Gould is very sparse, so we learn very little about him as a character
• Inspector Gould seems more like a moral force that mercilessly pursues the wrongs committed by the Birlings and Sheila, demanding they face the consequences of their actions
