BIRLING: "A man has to make his own way - has to look
after himself - and his family, too, of course, when he has
one - and so long as he does that he won't come to much
harm. But the way some of these cranks talk and write
now, you'd think everybody has to look after everybody
else, as if we were all mixed up together like bees in a hive
- community and all that nonsense. But take my word for
it, you youngsters - and I've learnt in the good hard school
of experience - that a man has to mind his own business
and look after himself and his own..."

Inspector: But just remember this. One Eva Smith has
gone – but there are millions and millions and millions of
Eva Smiths and John Smiths still left with us, with their
lives, their hopes and fears, their suffering and chance
of happiness, all intertwined with our lives, and what we
think and say and do. We don't live alone. We are
members of one body. We are responsible for each
other. And I tell you that the time will soon come when, if
men will not learn that lesson, then they well be taught it
in fire and bloody and anguish. Good night.

6. Priestley has presented Mr Birling as an ignorant
capitalist, illustrated through his choice of language.
When speaking to his family, Birling explains that ‘a
man has to make his own way’. Here, Birling is
suggesting that people should look after themselves
and not seek for help or support from others.
Through the use of the personal pronoun ‘his’
Priestley is connoting that Birling only cares about
himself and not that welfare of others.
