Symbols
• Symbols are objects which represent an idea or several ideas.
Priestley uses several of them in An Inspector Calls because they are
frequently used as a short-cut to attitudes and values and they have
wider meanings than their face value.
Here are some things to which Priestley gives symbolic value:
• a port and whisky
• b the engagement ring
• c the Inspector
• d the Titanic
• e the door bell
• f disinfectant
• g the telephone.
Speech
• Priestley creates and develops characters not
only by what they say but also by their uses of
speech.
• There are distinctive catchphrases, turns of
phrase, linguistic features (such as register,
vocabulary and slang) as well as content which
make the voices of the characters distinct
from each other.
