TO answer this question accurately I have decided to split the answer into two halves. The Inspector tries to promote a socialist idea and to make the Birling family see things from a different view or see things in perspective I have decided to take two characters from the play describing them all the way through, showing any differences, influences and how successful the inspector is. Also, showing any change in the way they act …showed first 75 words of 1385 total…

…showed last 75 words of 1385 total…u can see whom the inspector changed and whom he had no effect on. He had a huge effect on Sheila and not so much on Mr Birling. The play promotes a socialist idea through the Inspector very well. The audience ends up believing and understanding exactly what the Inspector is trying to put across. Over all it is a very clever play, making the audience think, not just of themselves but others as well.
