The visitor calls himself Inspector Goole. He has come there to question the Birlings about the suicide of a working woman named Eva Smith.It transpires that the dead working woman was also known as Daisy Renton.Inspector Goole asks them several questions. After the question answer session a kind of hint is found that the Birlings are responsible for the young woman's exploitation and abandonment.They are blamed of socially ruining the young woman. Owing to her sufferings through the hands of the Birlings Eva Smith is supposed to have committed suicide."An Inspector Calls" continued to be considered as a part of the repertory of classic drawing room theatre for a fairly long time, but at the same time it was also assessed as a critique of the hypocrite Victorian English society.A Quick Guide to "An Inspector Calls"CopyrightChapter One: IntroductionChapter Two: Major CharactersChapter Four: Critical ResponseChapter Five: Staging and Performances
