Inspector Goole’s relationship with other characters As in the play, it is the first time Inspector Goole has met the characters and does not really know them so there is no direct relationship between them. However I noticed that Priestley made Inspector Goole and Sheila Birling had a sort of mutual respect for each other. At first Sheila is a bit rude and does not seem to take the inspector seriously, and this in turn makes the audience have a dislike to her like the inspector. On page 18 just after Mr Birling’s questioning Sheila says ‘what do you mean by saying that? You talk as if we were responsible’.
Mrs. Bennet thinks “[Elizabeth] does not lose much suiting his fancy; for he is a most disagreeable, horrid man, not at all worth pleasing” pg. 15 chapter 3. During the gathering Elizabeth overheard Darcy telling Bingley about Elizabeth being “tolerable; but not handsome enough to tempt [him]” pg.13chapter 3. This was the start of Elizabeth’s disliking towards Darcy. Elizabeth doesn’t like snobby people like Miss.
That moment he realized he was not completely immune from common courtesy, he realized there were people out there who had it worse. I don’t agree with actions of the author in his article The Catbird Seat. The article shows a very biased outlook, only focusing on things he could get away with due to his handicap. The story says nothing about the down sides of being paralyzed. The author’s tone
He loved Allie then he died so now Holden subconsciously relates love with death, disappointment, and despair. While people without PTSD relate love with happiness, beauty, and stability. Also he has trouble forming basic relationships with people. With his roommates, Stradlater and Ackly, he admits to not liking them. He dislikes ackly for the simple reason that he has bad hygiene and it annoys Holden.
The Study of George It was the writer Joss Wheldon who said, “Loneliness leads to nothing good, only detachment. And sometimes the people who most need to reach out are the people least capable of it.” This shows that those who are lonely are those who are scared to speak out about it. Loneliness affects us all. It frightens people so much they can’t say anything about it. This is like the Great Depression when people just carried on with their lives not caring for others just for themselves.
Hester is the one who primarily hates Chillingworth, so, her admission to Chillingworth can be seen as a bad character when he says, “Thou wilt not reveal his name? Not the less he is mine," resumed he, with a look of confidence, as if destiny were at one with him. "He bears no letter of infamy
They are confused and don’t know whether to take action and find out why he has donned this dark drape, or to accept it and move about with their lives. The people grew distant from him, and eventually wrote him off as a good preacher, but slightly mad. Children, who normally loved his presence, ran from him and were utterly disturbed at the sight of him. When asked if Mr. Hooper would remove the veil , and given an answer that they didn’t want to hear, they isolated themselves from him. And even though the townspeople disliked his choice, they respected it.
It shows that the Inspector leaves something for the Birling family to think about and to never forget what has just happened and what they’ve done to cause this catastrophe. He’s left the Birling’s to feel guilty about their actions and that they could nothing to reverse what has happened. It says ‘leaving them staring’, this shows how they could be thinking quite hard about the events that have just happened. And then it says ‘subdued’, which tells us that the Inspector has brought the escalating argument to his control and that since he has left the house, the Birlings have calmed down and are not as over reactive as they were when Mrs Birling and Eric were arguing it out of who was the cause of Eva Smith’s death. Overall, the Inspector seems to be the most powerful character in the play, but at times he doesn’t show his over-powering presence and lets the Birlings show how venerable and culpability.
Roger Chillingworth was shown to be ambiguous because he was first described as a vengeful horrifyingly natured person, yet shows glimpses of human characteristics, such as assisting Hester and her child in the beginning and leaving everything he left behind after his death to little Pearl. Another example of ambiguity was Hester Prynne, because she at first is someone a reader could pity, then she becomes a cold person with no sense of feeling, then later to a sympathetic fortunate woman. Finally, Dimmesdale’s revelation of his chest marks the last questionable situation. He could have had something physical on his chest because he has always shown pain in that area, Chillingworth acted as if he found something on his chest while the minister was fast asleep, and it would be most likely that Dimmesdale only revealed his chest to the Puritans if they could observe anything significant on his
Sin is a crime caused by wanting joy but Chillingworth is not like that. His actions are purely evil which is true sin. “ At first, his expression had been calm, meditative, scholar-like. Now, there was something ugly and evil in his face...” (Hawthorne 120.) “ Old Roger Chillingworth, throughout his life, he had been calm in temperament , kindly, though not of warm affections...but, as he proceeded, a terrible fascination, a kind of fierce...” ( Hawthorne 123.)
