He’s a prosperous factory owner (businessman), his first priority is to make money& get power! He strongly believes that “a man has to make his own way”. He’s looking forward to receiving a knighthood.
He refuses to accept any responsibility for Eva’s death.
Sybil Birling
Wants to stick to the rules, concerned about manners (tells what the others shall do or not). She is only interested in the family-reputation.
She’s very conservative, old-fashioned, selfish, cold-hearted, snobbish& egoistic.
Sheila
at the beginning she’s snobbish, egoistic& self-confident, but in the end she thinks more clearly, critical, accepts criticism, nice, honest& responsible: she likes to change herself and feels sorry for what she had done. Her readiness to learn from experience is in a great contrast to her parents.
Eric
Start: makes jokes, behaves silly, lives an easy-going live, and doesn’t care about anything. He behaves half shy and half assertive (massende).
End: starts thinking, accepts his guilt, might stop drinking that much.
Gerald Croft
Is good-looking, rich& clever: man about town! He’s engaged to Sheila and also son of an industrial.
He doesn’t change lot during the story; stays a capitalist (just interested in money& profit). He seems to agree completely with Mr. Birling, quite the same attitude of live.
