An Inspector Calls
Character Profile - Arthur Birling
Regards himself as reasonable and pays the going rate to employees.
Unable to grasp link between actions and consequences, or wider
social/world issues.
No concepts of value other than money and position (speech pg. 4 -
Daughter as deal).
Proud of his status and is a social climber (Daughter's marriage for status
pg. 4, 8).
Sees him & wife as upholding 'right' values and as guardians of 'proper'
conduct.
Is blind to issues of the day and has a false optimism for the future based on his
inability to analyse the world around him (Future speeches pg. 6, 7). Speeches
are used as a device by Priestley to show Birling's naïveté (ignorance), as all
that he predicts is wrong (play written with benefit of hindsight in 1945).
Mr. Birling is almost a stereotype/caricature of the capitalistic businessman its
inherent callous heartlessness. Note references to capitalism (pg. 6, 7), business
(pg. 6 "hard headed businessman," 10 "mind his own business") and profit (pg.
14, 15).
He is proud of his status and reminds other of it (pg. 8 "knighthood" p.10
"Bench"), especially when trying to put the Inspector in his place (p.16 "golf").
He is so uneasy about these matters that he is uneasy about Gerald marrying
