In this title we will consider some of the key themes in An Inspector Calls. Priestley uses the play to deliver some important social messages to his audience, and through the Inspector he delivers the message of social responsibility quite explicitly. He links social responsibility to the idea of wealth and privilege, showing the wide gulf between social classes. Priestley examines morality, and introduces the idea that respectability is often little more than an appearance. This then links to the secrecy and lies which run throughout the play.
