Eric and Mr. Birling in Act III At the end of Act II of An Inspector Calls, the inspector asks Mrs. Birling what should be done with the culprit, to which she replies he should be severely dealt with, only for Eric to walk in at that moment, which is when the scene ends. Priestly uses a variety of literary techniques to build tension, some of which include, Eric bursting in just as we find out that he is the father of Eva’s baby. This is made even more gripping because of how Mrs. Birling had emphasized the extent of the punishment the father should receive.
