"An Inspector Calls" is a play by J.B. Priestley that revolves around the Birling family, affluent and seemingly content, who are confronted by an unexpected visitor, Inspector Goole. As the Inspector interrogates them about the suicide of a young woman named Eva Smith, the family members reveal their connections to her tragic fate. The play explores themes of social responsibility, class, and the interconnectedness of society. Through the unraveling of secrets and moral dilemmas, Priestley critiques capitalist attitudes and advocates for a more compassionate society where individuals acknowledge their impact on others.
