Comment
The answer gives a sound exploration of Priestley’s ideas of justice and how these are linked to the ‘chain of events’ that structures the play. Appropriate quotations are used to show the nature of the characters and the effects of their actions. Reference is also made to techniques used to emphasise ideas of justice or the lack of it. Sentence structure is sophisticated and paragraphs well placed to show the chain of events.
For Grades 8–9
- Offer closer analysis of language and its effects.
- Provide a fuller examination of Inspector Goole’s effect on the other characters.
- Link the historical context in which the play is set and written to Priestley’s ideas.
