A Critical Evaluation of 'An Inspector Calls' by JB Priestly.

'An Inspector Calls' by J.B Priestly was written in the winter of 1944-45. Priestly set the play before the First World War and took a mere week to write it.

…to express opinions and entertain the audience by using dramatic irony and an intertwined plot. The moral of the play is that everybody should work together in a community and realise that how we live our lives affects everyone around us. The play has made me think more of how we should live as a community and accept responsibility instead of distancing ourselves from the bad and being drawn to the good all the time.
