Mr Birling - created from Mind Map

Page 1

heavy-looking rather portentous man

You'll apoloigize at once... I'm a public man

You don't seem to care about anything. But I care .I was almost certain for a knighthood in the next Honour lists.

Stage direction signals his affluence and he is physically large

Quite an imposing figure and potentially quite intimidating to other

Priestly is hinting that Mr Birling is arrogant and believes he is above the law

Very pompous with the Inspector and indignant too

Apologize highlights his attempt to control the convestation

Direct address of you add more gravitas to him throwing his power around

Priestly uses Inspector as a voice and has characterize him as a socialist viewoint, Priestly uses the Inpector to judge Birling further by stating "Public men have responsibilities"

Repetition of the verb care is ironic as Mr. Birling only seems to care about himself and his reputation .

Mirrors a childhood strop of insolence

Mere mention for a knighthood seems grandiose or as if he has delusions of grandeur
