An inspector calls, analysis of end of act two

Looking again at the end of act two, how does Priestley make the ending scene dramatically effective? At the end of act two, Priestley uses several techniques in order to make the scene dramatically effective. The carefully written script creates an atmosphere of suspense and tension. The techniques Priestly uses in the script are irony and the dismantling of the false sense of security amongst the characters and consequently the audience. Originally the characters feel …

…their inquiring stares. Then the curtain falls quickly. Notice that the curtain falls quickly thus ends the scene at the breaking point having a larger, more dramatic impact on the audience. To conclude, priestly gradual unraveling of the sense of security by using irony, the way in which he directs the characters and the suspenseful way in which he ends the scene, in my opinion is what makes the end of act two dramatically effective.
