In the play the inspector says this because he sees that each member of the family helped kill Eva Smith in some sort of way. Priestley's main concerns was to alert the audience about how their actions could affect other people .The reason the dates 1912 and 1945 are important is that in 1912 that is the year the play was set and in the 1945 that is when it was first performed, many things happened between 1912 and 1945 and of them is that the titanic sank and there was a war , JB Priestley did this in his play so that the audience would be involved in the play by knowing what the characters in the play didn't know yet , he did this by using dramatic irony which was a very useful element in the play . The genre Inspector calls belongs to is a kind of detective, mystery play that ends up getting twisted in the end .
