 Now, let's examine key quotations relating to Eric Berling's character. Now, much like his sister Sheila Berling, Eric Berling experiences a profound change once he realizes the role that he had to play in the death of Eva Smith, who had become Daisy Renton by the time he met her. And of course, by the time he met her, Eva Smith unable to find any jobs in, I guess, the formal job market, so working in shops, factories and so on, had turned to working as a lady of the night, as a prostitute. And so Eric Berling had an affair with her and he used to steal from his parents in order to give her money. OK, so initially we meet Eric. He's an alcoholic. He's very self-centered. However, once he learns about Eva Smith and Daisy Renton's plight, he vows to also change. So he also, again, is a promising person because he shows the promise that the younger generation have to change and inspire change in society. Now, the first thing to bear in mind in terms of quotations for Eric Berling is when he says, I don't even remember. That's the hellish thing. And this is when he's talking about his encounter with Daisy Renton. He can't remember a lot of his encounters because obviously he struggled with alcoholism. And one of the things that of drinking too much is this can affect your memory. Now, in terms of word of analysis, and what this shows obviously is that Eric Berling was quite hedonistic, very pleasure seeking, very selfish to an extent. And of course, very immoral is firstly, in terms of a word of analysis, the verb remember, of course, this ties into his alcoholism and also how he kind of used Daisy Renton and cast her to the side. So he's really embarrassed about that. And the other word of analysis you want to do is when he's describing it as a hellish thing, and this is over exaggeration, hyperbole. Now, the second quotation when it comes to his character is when he's talking about actually, ironically, in contrast to how people would think working class women only care about stealing money, especially if she's a prostitute, right? And we know that Daisy Renton was a prostitute. He shows that she was quite moral. She realized that the money he was giving her, he was stealing. And he states she wouldn't take any more and she didn't want to see me again. So actually, this shows the contrast in the moral framework that Daisy Renton had. So even if she worked as a prostitute, ironically, she was way more moral and wanted honest cash as opposed to Eric Berling, who was very privileged. He's a man. However, he's quite immoral. OK. And the word of analysis you want to do here and focus on is, of course, the alliteration of doubly. So wouldn't and want and also the repetition of the pronoun she, which emphasizes just how actually, contrary to, for example, what Mrs. Sybil Berling would say when she talks about girls of that class and hinting that they're immoral, actually, Daisy Renton as a prostitute was far more moral than her own son, Eric Berling. The third quotation with Eric Berling is when he realizes that his mom used her influence to turn away Daisy Renton slash Eva Smith, who was pregnant with his child and he's angry at his mom because he says and the child she'd had ellipses have skipped out a few words here. You killed them both. And what you want to focus on here because his accusatory of his mother, he's showing his mother that also he she is immoral. The verb, the powerful verb and the violent verb killed shows Eric's disgust at the treatment of Eva and Daisy at the hands of his mother and, of course, also his father. The fourth and final quotation relating to his character is when he reflects much like his sister at the end of the play. He realizes that he has a part to play in the suffering of a lot of working class people and he states what happened to the girl and what we all did to her matters. And of course, what this shows is that he takes responsibility. He takes social responsibility in terms of looking at his role in benefiting and helping people like Eva Smith in society. The word level analysis you want to do here is the repetition of the word what to show his emphatic wish to change and become a better person. So that's it when it comes to Eric Berling character. And of course, the key quotations to remember in the word level analysis to do when it comes to his character.
