Inspector Goole
  1. He acts calm when questioning the Birling family.
    1. 'You'll be able to divide the responsibility between you when I'm gone'
      1. This quote suggests that Inspector Goole is implying that he doesn't care who the family want to blame; as they all had a part to play in Eva's death. The word 'responsibility' suggests that even though the family are denying any part of Eva's death being their fault, that Inspector Goole knows that they all had a part in why Eva was so depressed that she took her own life!
    2. Inspector Goole acts mysterious.
      1. 'A girl died tonight. A pretty, lively sort of girl who never did anyone any harm'
        1. This quote suggests that Mr Goole thinks that who ever pushed Eva to kill herself were wrong as she was innocent and didn't deserve to die. The word 'harm' suggests that Eva was a quiet and innocent young women who kept herself to herself and someone has hurt her feeling to make her think that her life isn't worth living anymore.
      2. He doesn't act sympathetic for the Birling family or Eva.
        1. ''One Eva Smith has gone - but there are millions and millions and millions of Eva Smith's and John Smith still left with us''
          1. This quote suggests that Inspector Goole is telling the family that just because they are in some way responsible for the death of Eva, doesn't mean they cant help anyone else who needs some help. The phrase 'millions and millions and millions' suggests that Inspector Goole is telling each member of the family members that there is lots of people they can help in stead of just them selves; as they all come across self centred.
        2. Inspector Goole thinks that somebody is definitely to blame for the death of Eva and that it is one or more of the Birling family.
          1. 'A nice little promising life, there. I thought, and a nasty mess somebody's made of it'
            1. This quote suggests that Inspector Goole is explaining to the family how Eva looked and felt before and after her death. It also tells us that he thinks that her life was that bad it wasn't worth living; so in a way he's condoning what she did to herself. the word 'somebody's' again is suggesting that Inspector Goole is pushing the blame onto the Birling family.
