When Mr Birling felt that the Inspector was asking too many questions Mr Birling says about the chief constable, 'Perhaps I ought to warn you that he is an old friend of mine'. Mr Birling seems as a dishonest, cold-hearted man. I think that Mr Birling's an over all disliked character in the play.
I think Sheila was also to blame because Shelia was jealous of Eva. She even admits, 'it was my own fault', and that she 'was in a furious temper'. She was jealous of Eva describing her as a 'very pretty girl too - with big dark eyes'.
Another reason why she was jealous, that she caught sight of Eva smiling at the assistant and 'I was furious with her'.
. It is obvious that she does regret all that she had done with regard to Eva claiming that, 'If I could help her now I would'. 'I felt rotten about it at the time and now I feel a lot worse'. She knows that she don’t wrong so she is promising that 'I'll never, never do it again'.
Gerald, he knew her personally, he even called her by her real name Daisy Denton; 'she gave me a glance that was nothing more than a cry for help'. I believe that he did really cares for Eva but he didn't like her as he admitted that: 'I didn't feel about her as she felt about me'.
Gerald seems to be a rather narrow minded. He did make her happy for a few months. He does show signs of guilt, 'She didn't blame me at all I wish to god she had now. The reason why Gerald made Eva happy as because they had sex with one another.
Mrs Birling was in fact the last person to have seen Eva and was the one that had given Eva the final shove by refusing her any help
Mrs Birling thinks she done nothing-wrong 'Nothing I am ashamed of'. It was clear that Mrs Birling did not like Eva and even admitted that, 'I didn't like her manner'. Mrs Birling felt no guilt for her part in Eva's death I think she was the only one who didn't feel guilty as I think that even Mr Birling did to a certain extent.
Mrs Birling comes of as a cold, hard and somewhat dishonest person.
Eric. He had spent a night with Eva and she had fallen pregnant with his child. On describing his night with her he said, 'I didn't even remember it that's the hellish thing'. Eric also admits to stealing money from his father's office in order to support Eva. Eric was being really honest; 'I got it from the office'.
Eric does show somewhat of care for Eva and even said: 'I'm not likely to forget'. He blames Mrs Birling saying to her, 'Then - you killed her'. It is hard to know whether he is sure that Mrs Birling is to blame or whether he is trying to divert the blame away from himself. Either way it does show that he is not very loyal to his family.
However each person made Eva's life miserable they had no idea that their actions would cause this much devastation.
