Explore the dramatic effectiveness of the final speech given by the Inspector and discuss his role throughout the play
An Inspector calls is a play that involves complex meanings and thought provoking text. On the outside you see it is as a typical detective story but within is a naturalistic drama focusing on the fallacy of our actions and on human selfishness. The consequences of our actions change parts of the lives for other people, and this play conveys Preistleys thoughts on what he thinks is morally correct and, the socialist and political views of the time. The effectiveness of this extremely well written play is produced through the writing and through the characters produced in the play.
