Resource summary
IC. gerald croft
priestleys message
represents the selfish attitudes of the upper class
key part in the chain of events that caused eva’s death
He lets the audience down
we had hope that he would change his attitudes, but he doesn’t
character development
He doesn't change his attitudes, even though we thought he would
shows how difficult it is to change the way someone thinks
I want you to understand that I didn’t install her to make love to her
He doesn’t want to be to blame for the death of Eva Smith
He still had some form of feelings towards her
He used the term ‘made love to her’. If he didn’t care he would’ve just said that he slept with her
There was a strong distinction between the classes, the two often didn’t mix or form any sort of relationship with eachother
Could also be trying to make it seem better, or to soften the blow
You decided to keep her as your mistress
Implies that Eva didn’t get to choose if she was his mistress
In 1910’s it wasn’t unusual for upper class men to keep mistresses
I don’t come into any of this suicide business
Gerald doesn’t want to be involved with anything to do with the lower class
Doesn’t want to ruin his reputation
What about this ring?
It’s been revealed that gerald has been unfaithful
He thinks everything can go back to the way it was
Doesn’t actually feel guilty about it
I became.. the most important person in her life
Gerald can come across as very self centred
Nearly any man would have
Trying to justify his actions
Making it out to be normal that any engaged man would have an affair
Young women ought to be protected against unpleasant and disturbing things
Hypocritical because of what Eva had to go through
The stereotypical view of women in 1912
I didn’t ask for anything in return
Shows that regardless of how he treated her, he’s morally good because he didn’t expect her to do anything else
