Sheila and Gerald celebrate their engagement with the Birling family with a family dinner.
Mr Birling makes a speech outlining his capitalists views on the advances in science, technological innovations and relationships between socialism and capitalism.
The evening is interrupted by the arrival of Inspector Goole making enquiries about the suicide of Eva Smith.
The Inspector shows a photograph of Eva to Mr Birling, who recognises her as an ex-employee at the factory. She was sacked for leading a strike for higher wages.
Sheila and Eric agree their father had acted harshly, while Gerald supports Mr Birling’s claim saying that he acted reasonably.
Sheila is later shown the photo of Eva and realises that she too had been responsible for another sacking of Eva driven by jealousy and her ill temper.
When Gerald learns the girl changed her name to Daisy Renton, his reaction shows that he had once known the girl too.
The Inspector suggests that many people share the responsibility for the misery, which prompted Eva Smith/Daisy Renton to end her life.
