Mrs Birling's character in "An Inspector Calls" is vividly illustrated through her dialogue, revealing her prejudices and lack of empathy. This analysis explores key quotes that highlight her personality and role in the play.
Quote: "Girls of that class"
This quote demonstrates Mrs Birling's classist attitudes. By referring to Eva Smith as part of "that class," she immediately distances herself and shows her belief in a rigid social hierarchy.
Highlight: Mrs Birling uses the term "girl" to describe Eva, despite Eva being an adult woman. This choice of words underscores Mrs Birling's condescension and dismissive attitude towards those she considers beneath her social standing.
Quote: "Eva showed 'Gross impertinence' and 'prejudiced me against her case'"
This statement reveals Mrs Birling's inflated sense of self-importance. She views Eva's use of the Birling name as a personal affront, allowing her prejudice to override any sense of compassion or duty to help.
Quote: "But I think she only had herself to blame"
This quote exemplifies Mrs Birling's refusal to accept any responsibility for her actions. Even after learning of Eva's suicide, she remains unrepentant and continues to blame the victim.
Quote: "As if a girl of that sort would ever refuse money!"
Here, Mrs Birling's classist assumptions are on full display. She cannot conceive that someone from a lower social class might have principles or dignity that would lead them to refuse financial assistance.
Quote: "I accept no blame for it"
This final quote encapsulates Mrs Birling's character. Her inability to acknowledge her role in Eva's tragedy and her steadfast refusal to accept any blame make her a particularly unsympathetic character to the audience.
Highlight: Mrs Birling's quotes consistently reveal her as a character who embodies the worst aspects of upper-class prejudice and social inequality, making her a central figure in the play's critique of Edwardian society.
Through these Mrs Birling quotes, J.B. Priestley crafts a character who serves as a stark representation of the social injustices and class divides that the play seeks to expose and criticize. Her unwavering stance and lack of growth throughout the play make her a powerful symbol of the entrenched attitudes that the younger generation in the play must overcome.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend
