heavy-looking rather portentous man

You'll apoloigize at once... I'm a public man

Stage direction signals his affluence and he is physically large

Quite an imposing figure and potentially quite intimidating to other

Priestly is hinting that Mr Birling is arrogant and believes he is above the law

Very pompous with the Inspector and indignant too

Apologize highlights his attempt to control the convestation

Mirrors a childhood strop of insolence

Mere mention for a knighthood seems grandiose or as if he has delusions of grandeur
