How To Revise

Be realistic. There is a limit to how much you can remember. Be selective.
Read through your summaries of each part of the play and make a chronological list of significant moments, events, or encounters involving Mr Birling.
Review the tables of quotations below. Make your own shorter list of quotations that exemplify the character arc you have just described. Make sure you draw inspiration from both the Said By Inspector and Pertaining To Inspector sections.
Make sure you can answer all the questions in the Check Your Knowledge section. Make a list of additional quotations that would make your answers convincing.
Create a “character arc” infographic or mind-map, similar to the examples at the bottom of this page. Augment each quotation with two or three adjectives that you could use when writing an essay. </aside>

Act 1; Part 2; Line 1
- {The Inspector enters, and Edna goes, closing door after her. The Inspector need not be a big man but he creates at once an impression of massiveness, solidity and purposefulness. He is a man in his fifties, dressed in a plain darkish suit of the period. He speaks carefully, weightily, and has a disconcerting habit of looking hard at the person he addresses before actually speaking.} </aside>
