Resource summary
Sheila Birling
Strong-minded: "I don't believe I will. So you be careful."
Sharp: "He's giving us the rope - so that we'll hang ourselves"
Selfish: "you used power you had [...] to punish that girl"
Moral: "But these girls aren't cheap labour - they're people"
Quick- witted
Strong-minded
Hands the engagement ring back to Gerald
Wise
Suspects Eric is the father of the child
By the end of the play, she has changed for good
Sensitive
Moral
Her language makes her seem childish at first
Stage directions say she's "very please with life and rather excited"
Slang expressions like "squiffy" remind the audience that Sheila belongs to a younger generation
When she gets the ring she's very excited, and looks to her mother for approval. "Look - Mummy - isn't it a beauty?"
She jokes with Gerald, but the stage directions say that she's "half serious, half playful"
Priestley gives Sheila witty lines to make her appear sharp. The wit undermines the authority of the others as she makes jokes at their expense
