Sorry guys. I couldnt find the inspector calls catergory, theres just so mnay options.
But anyway if you could find me quotes in an inspector calls about the supernatural. Thank you.
You will have to scan your text for particulars but the inspector is known for his almost supernatural ability to know a character's motivations and encourage confessions.
The inspector is broadly known for his supernatural capabilities and the fact that there is no inspector goole working for the police department which suggests he is not real or is a ghost. The name goole sounds and signifys ghoul and we become peculiar of the inspector for many reasons such as, how does he know all this information about the family and Eva if he isn't real and hasn't met them before. I would suggest looking through the last act where the family justify that the inspector isn't real, pick a quote and just give reasons to why goole isn't real and why they think that. Use some of the reasons I have listed they may help. Sorry I haven't given any quotes but I've hopefully given a better understanding on the quotes you need to look for
An Inspector Calls
There aren't really any explicit quotations, but that fact that his name is 'Goole' which sounds uncannily like Ghoul is a huge indicator of the supernatural. Also, note the way he can encourage confessions that work to his advantage and the way he appears to be omniscient and only present at the house to receive confessions. It's as if he already knows the answers to his questions but what you need to remember is that this play was written in 1945 and based in 1912 so Priestley wrote the play with 33 years worth of hindsight and was therefore able to predict future events. Obviously, he wasn't an Inspector and we are never told who or what he was so all we can do is wonder...
Knowledge of the play.
Inspector Goole is the ghost of Eva Smith's father, he is trying to get the Birling's to admit that they're wrong and that their actions were the cause of his daughter's suicide.
An Inspector Calls play by Priestley
You could mention that in the play he quotes: "if men don't learn the lesson..." the use of the word men may suggest he's not referring to himself and he's not human, however when he talks innthe same part of the play he uses pronouns such as 'we'
