An Inspector Calls Character Analysis

I also didn’t choose Eric Birling as my most likeable character as he used Eva, he stole money from Arthur Birling to give her money to Eva for the baby. As Eva was a prostitute he used her just for sex. Eric’s parents think that he is all innocent, but really he is an heavy drinker. Eric say’s; I wasn’t in love or anything but I did like her. This tells me he is a user and only wanted one thing.

I didn’t choose Eric as my most likable character as he was in the wrong, and didn’t care about Eva.

It then comes to Arthur Birling the father of Sheila and Eric. He only cares about himself and know one else. He won’t accept the allegations that’s made against him, and don’t see how giving Eva the sack got anything to do with him. Even though he sacked her so she would be left with no money.

Has he comes from a middle class family, he seems stuck up and selfish. As she says to the inspector; “Look here I am not going to have this inspector, you’ll apologise at once”.

He only cares about money, as he says to Gerald; “And now you have brought us together, and perhaps we may look forward to the time when Crofts and Birlings are no longer competing but are working together-for lower costs and prices”. Arthur is certainly not my most likable character! My final character Gerald Croft has a very big part in Eva Smith’s suicidal death.

He never loved her or never would love her, but Eva had fallen head over heels in love with Gerald. He used her till he didn’t want anymore.

Gerald Croft Character Analysis

When they first met Eva was prostituting and he just used her just to please his needs. He had sex with her then paid her. Gerald told the inspector; “He had become the most important person in his life”. What Gerald has done he can never change. Also what he has done to Sheila is terrible too. He is a user and very selfish. And certainly is the most un-likable character. Sheila is definitely my most likable character, as she has shown the most honestly and true guiltiness. This is shown as when she saw the picture of Eva; she was the only one who had a “little cry”.
