Perhaps the most ubiquitous ‘An Inspector Calls’ question on the legacy GCSE was on the role of the Inspector. Check out our podcast on him here: https://t.co/Y32UYFYPbb And get the handout here: https://t.co/mZxeReKqi1 #AQAEnglishLit@LitdriveUK@EnglishWales@Team_English1

One of my favourite An Inspector Calls quotes:
Sheila: "Impertinent is such a silly word." (Act 2)
Now, IMPERTINENT is a key word in An Inspector Calls. It tells us about the class mentality of 1912.

So. Gerald.
His whole attitude to women is deeply shitty. Gerald hates "hard-eyed" women but loves Eva for having "soft dark hair and big brown eyes".
In other words, he likes young and vulnerable women he can manipulate, not experienced and canny women who see through him.

Times in An Inspector Calls when women are bought or traded by men:
1. Mr Birling using Sheila's marriage to buy his way into the Crofts' good books ("just the kind of son-in-law I've always wanted").
