- An Inspector Calls was written to show the inter-connectednesss of people in the drama of human existence. It reflects Priestley"s socialist views while outlining the problems he saw with capitalism. During a party celebrating the engagement of the daughter of the upper middle-class Birling family to the son of another wealthy family, an inspector (Inspector Goole) calls and announces that he wishes to ask some questions concerning the suicide of a young girl. This leads to Goole lecturing the Birlings on how every person has an often unconnected effect on the life and death of other people, thereby changing the ways of the younger generation of Birlings.
