How Atmosphere is Created and Maintained in An Inspector Calls
J.B Priestly uses a lot of ideas to give the audience an idea of
suspense and mystery. At the start of the film and play production the
audience can hear music, this makes them wonder what is going on as
the family inside the house is happy and joyous, yet the music seems
eerie and almost scary. Minutes into the play a grand entrance is made
(that of the inspector) which creates a feeling of unease, as the
audience and the family wonder what he is doing there.
The entrances and exits are used in the best possible way, he makes
the entrance of a character leave a big impression, but the exit of a
character leave an even bigger one. The biggest entrance during the
play is that of the inspector during Birlings speech about "looking
after himself and his own family, yet when the inspector leaves he
makes a speech about not living alone but looking after everyone and
that we are responsible for one another." This creates another feeling
of unease as this is the complete opposite of what Birling said at the
start. This leaves a cliff-hanger which J.B. Priestly also uses to
great effect. The cliff-hanger which leaves the biggest impression on
the audiences mind is that at the end of act 1 between Gerald and the
inspector, it leaves the audience wondering what will happen as Gerald
has given his connection with Daisy Renton away and is trying to cover
it up. This leads to dramatic irony as the audience knows what is
going on, but still not all the characters know.
The best case of dramatic irony is between Eric, Mrs Birling and Eva
Smith towards the end of act 2, when Mrs Birling is going on about, "that
father of Eva Smith's baby needs to be taken in hand and dealt with
and he should accept his responsibility.” The audience know that the
father is Eric, but still Mrs Birling was making it worse as she was

The two scenes that the essay will be focusing on are Act 1 Scene 1
Everyday experience tells us that different actions need different environments to take place in a satisfactory way. This fact is of course taken into consideration by current theory of planning and architecture, but so far the problem has been treated in a too abstract way. ‘Taking place’ is usually understood in a quantitative, functional sense with implications such as spatial distribution and dimensioning. But inter-human functions are not similar everywhere, they take place in very different ways and demand places with different properties, in accordance with different cultural traditions and different environmental conditions.
The turning point in the play, act IV, scene 1, is where all of the
