Question Answer
"Oh how horrible, was it an accident" Sheltered by her capitalist parents and doesn't understand the hardships of poverty-Inspectors role to enlighten the family and Sheila slowly starts to become more mature
"They're not cheap labour, they're people" Capitalist point of view not worthy of recognition -disgusted at her fathers treatment of the lower classes and she begins to act as the social conscience for the characters.
"He's giving us the rope to hang ourselves" Metaphor-She understands the inspector hold all the cards and is in power. All the characters are linked to the chain of events which resulted in Eva's death.
"Pretending to go on the same old way" Shocked and disgusted with her parents that they haven't learnt anything (thinks it's a hoax)
Adverb "Passionately" Fully accepts the Inspectors message of socialism
"Pleased with life"-stage direction, "excited" Initially presented as innocent, sheltered and materialistic. She becomes distressed when she hears of Eva's death.
Priestley portrays that the younger generation are more "impressionable"-wanted the audience to question their moral conscience. She goes on the biggest journey showing that we can change. She can see past the social divide and the suffocating hierarchy of society. That's just a one sided thing.
