An Inspector Calls (Grades 9–1) York Notes

Comment

This is an excellent critique of Sybil Birling and her motives. There is good use of literary techniques, sound analysis of language and its effect. Links have been made to other features of the play, particularly to the central theme of responsibility and also to the playwright’s main purpose. A sophisticated range of vocabulary appropriate to the character has been used and sentence structure has pace and variety. The conclusion presents an unusual and well-supported argument about an aspect of the character.
