An Inspector Calls by J.B.Priestly Who killed Eva Smith? Essay

An Inspector Calls by J.B.Priestly Who killed Eva Smith?There are many another(prenominal) different factors involved with the death of Eva Smiththat should be considered while asking the question whom ultimatelykilled Eva Smith. Each one of the birl family (including GeraldCroft) pushed Eva Smith that extra speckle closer to killing herself, butno one person was individually responsible for her death. Whether oneperson was more to blame than any other it is tight to say. Althoughthese people contributed to her unfortunate end to life, her positionin life and society are also greatly to blame.It is Mr. Arthur Birling who starts off the train of events, as he isthe first to come in to contact with Eva Smith. Mr. Birling sacked EvaSmith from his factory later she and a few others went on strike,demanding higher wages. As Mr. Birling said to the inspector, Shedhad a lot to say - far too much - so she had to go. I dont see thathe did anything wrong, anyone in his position would have make thesame. And as he says, its his duty to keep labour costs use up. Hesa hardheaded businessman, as he calls himself, hed do anything tomake as much profit as possible. He wasnt to know what would happento Eva Smith two years down the line, after he sacked her. As he saidIf you dont come down sharply on some of theses people, theyd soonbe asking for the earth.Although Mr. Birling didnt do anything wrong in my eyes, he wasntportrayed too well end-to-end the play. He shows himself to bearrogant, complacent and self-absorbed. One major flaw in Mr.Birlings behaviour is that he seems to show no remorse at all forEva, and after all he did help drive her to commit suicide. He showsno regret for dismissing E... ...ike ending herlife, and she wouldnt be lying on a slab with her insides burnt out. later all, she was the person who decided to kill herself, she couldhave tried for another job, she could have accepted the money fromEric and she could have made him responsible for the ba by, when itcame.In conclusion, it would be unsporting to put the blame onto one person,when each and every one of them helped contribute to Evas miserableend to life. It may be more accurate to blame society, her class, andthe snip in which she lived. No real crime has been committed in thisplay, but I believe that the Birling family should share the moralresponsibility for this young womans ugly suicide. Then maybe nexttime they are about to do something selfish theyll think of thedevestation they might supply to others, and not just the benefit theybring to themselves.
