 Hello and welcome to another lesson where I'll be going over the entire plot of an inspector calls this play within five minutes. The reason why I am condensing all the major events within this play into five minutes is because sometimes it's really easy to get wrapped up in the detail of the play. It's really easy to kind of drown in all reams and reams of information and revision notes, my maps and all that stuff. And it can be really, really difficult to take a step back and think, okay, now I've got my mocks coming up. Now I've got my exams coming up. Do I know all the key events within the play? So I thought this would be a really useful and handy revision tool that you can turn to when revising the major key events within an inspector call. So let's get into it in spectacles in five minutes. Now, remember that the play starts with Sheila and Gerald Croft in the Burling household celebrating their engagement. Even if we know that Sheila is a little bit annoyed at Gerald because he basically ignored her the previous summer, she accepts the ring that he offers her to the delight of her entire family. And especially Mr. Burling, who is extremely pleased because he runs a company that's the rival of the Croft company. Okay, so he has his own manufacturing company. And if she and Gerald get married, they will be able to merge the business together and he will really benefit from this. Now, Mr. Burling sets Eric and Gerald to the side and they talk about the future. Mr. Burling reveals that he's very myopic. His mind is up in the air. He basically says that firstly, the Germans don't want war. So, you know, the likelihood of the first world war happening is very slim. The Titanic will never sink. And of course, every man has to look after his own business himself. Society does not have any responsibility towards the poor to help them out. Whilst he's pacificating and telling both Eric and Gerald about this, an inspector arrives and the goes finds him waiting at the door brings him in. An inspector Gaw tells them that a lady called Eva Smith has committed suicide and died at the infirmary and it's actually all of their fault. Inspector Gaw starts by blaming Mr. Burling who fired her from his factory because Eva Smith wanted to ask for more wages for slightly fairer pay. And she got all of the women in the factory. She organized them into a group where they protested for more wages and Mr. Burling simply fired her. Then Inspector Gaw turns to Sheila and he says that Sheila is also responsible for Eva Smith's death because Eva Smith, after being fired, was able to get a job in a shop called Millwoods where Sheila shopped. However, Sheila used her influence because she was very jealous of Eva Smith's beauty to have her fired. Inspector Gaw then turns to Gerald Croft. Gerald Croft who was supposed to be engaged to Sheila and he unveils the fact that Eva Smith, because she was unable to get any more jobs, she had to lead a very different sort of life. In other words, she had to become a prostitute. And whilst working at a prostitute and where people knew in the palace bar, prostitutes hung around. Gerald Croft met her and he made her his mistress over the summer, over the previous summer and he used her for sex. And afterwards he just basically discarded her as if she was a piece of rubbish. Next, Inspector Gaw turns to Mrs. Burling and he blames her because she used her influence over her charity to redact Daisy Renton when she was seeking help because she was pregnant. Then finally blame is shifted to Eric Burling as well. Okay, so Eric was also blamed because he also met Daisy whilst she was working at the palace bar just like Gerald and he started a relationship. He was using her and then obviously ended up making her pregnant. So Mrs. Burling actually indirectly influenced the death of both Daisy Renton but also her grandchild. Now Gerald leaves and investigates. Okay, so he leaves under the guise and under the pretence that he's really sad, he's really sorry all of this happens. However, he goes off and investigates and discovers that the inspector actually doesn't exist. And he even questions whether this girl, this person who the inspector is talking about, does she even exist? Maybe there were four or five goals that were affected by them. He comes back and tells them the news and we learned that Gerald, Mr. Burling and Mrs. Burling are really pleased, they're delighted they can cover all of this up. However, Eric and Sheila are disappointed, they're disappointed in them and they're disappointed that they've not learned anything from this encounter with Inspector Gaw. And finally whilst there's now a complete divide between the family with Sheila and Eric wanting to change whilst Gerald, Mr. and Mrs. Burling not wanting to change, they get a call. Okay, so the phone rings and they're told that a girl has recently killed herself in the infirmary and there's an officer on the way to ask the Burling family about their role in her suicide. So of course the play has a circular structure. It starts off with the death of a girl and ends with the death of a girl. So that's really it when it comes to knowing the key events to revise when considering Inspector Gaw's within five minutes. Thank you for listening.
