An Inspector Calls A study plan


A study plan

 An Inspector Calls is a play written by English dramatist  J.B Priestley first performed in the Soviet Union in 1945 It is one of Priestley's best-known works for the stage and is considered to be one of the  classics of mid-20th-century English theater.

The play is a three-act drama which takes place on a single night in April 1912, focusing on the prosperous upper middle-class Birling family, who live in a comfortable home in the fictional town of Brumley, "an industrial city in the North Midlands". The family is visited by a man calling himself Inspector Goole, who questions the family about the suicide of a young working-class woman. The play has been considered as a scathing criticism of the hypocrisies of Victorian and Edwardian English society and as an expression of Priestley's socialist political principles.

    Friends and Flatterers by William Shakespeare

    Friends and Flatterers    by William Shakespeare Every one that flatters thee Is no friend in misery. Words are easy, like the wind; Faithful friends are hard to find: Every man will be thy friend Whilst thou hast wherewith to spend; But if store of crowns be scant, No man will supply thy want. If that one be prodigal, Bountiful they will him call, And with such-like flattering, 'Pity but he were a king;' If he be addict to vice, Quickly him they will entice; If to women he be bent, They have at commandement: But if Fortune once do frown, Then farewell his great renown They that fawn'd on him before Use his company no more. He that is thy friend indeed, He will help thee in thy need: If thou sorrow, he will weep; If thou wake, he cannot sleep; Thus of every grief in heart He with thee doth bear a part. These are certain signs to know Faithful friend from flattering foe.   William Shakespeare William Shakespeare was an English playwri

Not that this troubled him one bit; In fact, he was quite glad of it; Knowing it’s every sane man’s mission To contradict all superstition.   But what is that?   Outside it seemed As if chains rattled someone screamed! Come, come, it’s merely nerves, he’s certain (but just the same, he draws the curtain). The stroke of twelve – but there’s no clock! He shuts the door and turns the lock (of course he knows that no –one’s there But no harm’s done by taking care!); Some one’s outside the silly joker, (he m
