Question: In Act 1, how does Priestley use the character of Mr. Birling to introduce the key themes of the play? You should look closely at the writers use of language, form and structure.
Outline the background context to the play, showing your understanding of Priestley's reasons for writing it and BRIEFLY summarise the three points you will go on to analyse in detail.
The topic sentence of your paragraph (AO1).
a specific word or the use of punctuation - and analyse the effect of that choice by the writer (AO2).
a)Inequality of wealth and power in British society
b)Blame and taking (or not taking) responsibility
c)The different social classes - the challenge of changing your class
d)Capitalism vs. socialism
e)Progress, improvement and generational change
f)Gender roles and expectations
g)Public (exterior?) life vs. private (interior?) life
h)Legality and morality - what you have to do vs. what it is right to do
This absolutely, categorically MUST NOT be a summary of the points you have just made. It should leave the reader with an interesting further idea to consider in response to the essay question. You might consider:
