 Hi guys and welcome back to yet another lesson now guys I'm super excited to say that I've got an og in the English GCSE world Stacey Ray so guys I'm super super excited for our collab and We're gonna kick off our collab on this channel with the five quotes that you can use in any Inspector calls essays and your upcoming GCSE exams the case of myself and Stacey will be going over the key quotes based on The top five characters within the play and we'll also explain how you can relate it to the key themes and also context Okay, so starting off guys the first quote that you can use especially with mr. Berling's character And when you're answering any question about the mr. Berling age social responsibility and so on is when he says I Still cannot accept any Responsibility now this quotation is perfect firstly in Capturing the essence of mr. Berling's character remember that pre-season using him as a character that highlights the cold Capitalist system that ruled the Edwardian system. Okay, so mr. Berling He is the quintessential business man who literally sees every single working class person that works for him as just cold labor And of course what this is illustrating more broadly is priestly Highlighting how a lot of upper-class and wardians refused to accept or even take their social responsibility towards helping others in society this increased class divisions also, of course this highlights the selfishness of the upper middle class and the upper classes and Equally priestly who was a socialist is highlighting the cruel aspect in the cruel side of capitalism Okay, so this quote is perfect Not only when it comes to mr. Berling's character But also if you're writing about any of these key ideas within your inspector calls exam, okay So Stacy will be the second quote I want to move to mrs. Berling and this is when she's being interrogated and this is and towards the end of act two And she talks about and prejudice made against her case as to why she's be here the way she has in the charity But we want to really do one would do close analysis guys is look at this word prejudice And if you just go to the dictionary sometimes it can help us and the word prejudice means that you and discriminate You treat somebody differently and it says for no reason with no thought No thought behind your action and no reason behind your action So actually what you get there is a confession by by mrs. Berling without her realizing she's confessed to anything and Again, if you look at the language me against her like things like that or showing us the class divide They are showing us where socialism and capitalism naturally come into conflict and this idea is detached She always talks about girls of that class girls of that sort who as if there is this huge disparity between the two And so mrs. Berling does quite a lot for you when she is Detailing her role in the death of Eva Smith Okay Now the third quotation is what Sheila says but actually this quote is powerful because you can relate it to either Sheila or Inspect a goal, okay So when it's better go Highlights that you know towards the end of act three there millions of millions of Eva Smiths and John Smiths And then he says if we if the Berlin zone change they will face fire and blood and anguish Sheila Who's so impacted by his message echoes his words by saying the same ones that he says fire and blood and Anguish okay, and here what this is illustrating firstly especially when you think about the theme of age is that Sheila is Showing priesties belief in the younger generation and inspiring social change Okay, please leave wrote this play and use the characters of Sheila and Eric to show that it was the younger generations that we're going to be the ones Who are going to change society and make it more equal okay, and of course Sheila has really internalized the inspector's message But also what this is illustrating is Sheila accepting her social responsibility as the daughter of another middle-class man and the power that comes with that to Help change society by showing kindness and charity towards poorer women like Eva Smith and Daisy Renton Of course also what this is illustrating is how social change will be driven by People like Sheila belly and especially also remember that this play is also a very feminist play Okay, so priestly was also using the female character of Sheila to illustrate that the power that women had also to drive social change Okay, so it's quite powerful because not only does it tie to inspector goals words, but also Sheila So you literally killing two birds with one stone I want to move to the to the open description of Eric, which is half shy half assertive I can't tell you enough how much the first page in the state directions give you every single character and their behavior And what we see will do is will foreshadow their behavior as well So Sheila and Eric are going to get a similar description I've explained half shy half assertive and again what we're learning here through punctuation and this idea of The juxtaposition of shyness it is the two different orcs that we're going to see The the shy Eric is the one around Mr. Bill and Gerald at the beginning who was drunk all of the time Why is he shy? He's not really a powerful man at the opening He doesn't really have a business of perspective does he and he probably knows that his behavior is criminal When we get assertive what we're seeing again is precy very subtly and subconsciously warning us about what the classified has created and With Eric we are getting misogyny and capitalism together and those two things combined Actually physically ruin Eva Smith as well as emotionally, spiritually, mentally all of those different things The assertive idea was when we see him being quite aggressive and we get those descriptions about turning nasty You will see here that again in terms of like thematic response We've got the the presentation of men Eric Willem will answer a man a man question all on his own if you can analyze him quite well Inequality and responsibility in the sense of the way he is assertive It's his responsibility not to do that to our and women at all. Isn't it really and really quickly just take a little cheater She does and we see a similar one which is Half seevious half playful. Okay, and the fifth and final quote which highlights Gerald Croft's character is When he quite arrogantly tells the inspector who's come into question them that We're respectable citizens and not criminals number one Well, this is showing us about Gerald's character is he is somebody who's quite pompous very upper class And he's very well aware of the power that he has but this quote is also very deeply ironic Okay, saying that you know, they are respectable citizens rather than being criminals because this is illustrating the belief that a lot of audience had at the time that the poor was somehow Immoral and they deserved the terrible treatment and you know the low pay that they got whilst people who were in the upper classes Well, somehow more morals morally superior, okay So Gerald Croft is kind of highlighting these very very deeply held views that a lot of upper-class people had at the time And remember that Gerald is also the only non-family member within the Burling family Okay, so he's an outsider But the reason why mr. Burling wants this marriage to happen between him and Sheila is because he's an aristocrat Okay, so he's like in the top top tier of society However, we can see that that he holds the worst and least progressive use even if he's part of the younger generation Okay So what this quote is really really powerful in illustrating is firstly the deep class divisions or really upheld by people who were Especially in the upper echelons of society. So really really top tier in society But also the refusal of social responsibility that he had towards the poor kind of like mr. Burling here You can't accept any responsibility and of course as I mentioned He's highlighting a very commonly held belief within the Edwardian upper classes that you know the poor was somehow Responsible for what they were going through. Okay. This was a view that was called at the time kind of seeing them as the undeserving poor Okay, so this quotation really really perfectly captures Gerald Croft's character along with mr. Burling and Mrs. Burling is one of the characters that refuses to change.
