''An inspector calls'' is set in the early 20th century, back when things were different. The class system was very important. There were three classes working class, the middle class and the upper class. The working class was for the poorest people who did manual labouring work. The middle class was for people such as doctors and teachers. The upper class was for really rich people or people who were important in society such as lords and dukes. In the early 20th century women did not get much respect at all. Only women in the working class worked because women could not get any better jobs than a factory worker or some kind of maid or servant work. This essay from www.coursework.info
An inspector calls shows us about the class system in many ways. The first thing we see is that Mr Birling is trying to get a knight hood so he can move from the upper middle to the upper class. He doesn't really want anyone finding out about Eva Smith because he thinks it will damage his reputation and ruin his chances of getting the knighthood. Mr Birling owns a business and is rich he also has respect from other people in the town so he would not want a girl like Eva Smith who has no real importance to him, to come and ruin his chances. You could this factory was quite big and employed many people because he says '' we've several hundred young women there and they keep changing''. This shows us that there was probably many other women all in the same situation as Eva Smith. Money will get you respect and a reputation. Money is also a factor in the class system. The more money you had the higher class you were in. In 1912 when ''An Inspector Calls'' was set the suffragette movement was at its most violent and bitter so it was obvious that there was a time for a change on the way that women were treated around this time. The suffragettes were mainly upper and middle class women because if a lower class woman was to campaign they wouldn't get any respect where as the higher you get in the class system the more respect women got.coaf afr seafafw oraf afk inaf foaf af:
