Linking in to this, we are able to understand that Arthur Birling doesn’t want to be a part of the enquiry and that he wants the Inspector to start interrogating other members of the family.

Yet he hasn't learnt the lesson of the play: he is unable to admit his responsibility for his part in Eva's death.
