Mid-Year Assessment Special: Year 9 'An Inspector Calls' - 'We are responsible for each other'

In this episode of Study Sessions, we explore the theme of responsibility in J.B. Priestley’s An Inspector Calls. Perfect for Year 9 students preparing for their mid-year assessments, this episode analyses the characters’ failures to take responsibility for Eva Smith and how Priestley critiques societal attitudes.

I examine key moments in the play, including Arthur Birling’s arrogance, Sheila’s transformation, Gerald’s duplicity, and the Inspector’s powerful final speech. With detailed stylistic and linguistic analysis, I unravel how Priestley’s language and structure drive his moral message about accountability and interconnectedness.

Tune in to sharpen your analytical skills and ace your exam responses. Responsibility is more than a theme—it’s a lesson for us all.

Happy revising!
