Skribentens beskrivelse af An inspector callsWhat is the significance of the Inspector’s cue to enter the stage? The moment before the Inspector enters the stage, Mr. Birling is talking to his future son-in-law Gerald and his biological son Eric. He is lecturing them about a man's role in society and how a real man should always look after himself and make his own way, "But take my word for it, you youngsters - and I've learned in the good hard school of experience - that a man has to mind his own business and look after himself and his own" (p. 10 ll. 6-9). The Inspector interrupts Mr. Birling’s sermon of advice when he rings the front doorbell in the middle of Mr. Birling’s sentence. It is a kind of moral ambivalent when Mr. Birling proclaims how the two young men should conduct themselves when Mr. Birling himself is full of shortcomings and has made a huge mistake. |
