J.B Priestly sets out the worn and change his audience with ‘An Inspector Calls’
J.B Priestly thought that the world he was living in was wrong because people in different classes get treated differently. What I mean by this is that people in a higher ‘class’ get treated with more respect and dignity while the lower ‘class’ population get treated as ‘scum’ and a waste of space. He believes that society should share its wealth so that everyone has enough; he also believes that that rich people should help these unfortunate people through taxes, I personally disagree with his opinion as I believe if you work hard for your earnings you shouldn’t help someone else who maybe didn’t work as hard in life. If our society didn’t change J.B.P. believed we’ll continue to be selfish and not look after one and another. “We don’t live alone. We are members of one body”. J.B.P. view on this is that we as members of a society should help and support each other. It also has an effect on the readers and audience by suggesting we are members of one body. The timing on which the this play was made is important because it was set in 1912-2-years before the 1stWW; then later written in 1945-the end of the 2nd WW. The timing was important because people had to stick together while the wars were going on; children were sent to the countryside were it was safe from the bombings.
