Title: Inspector Goole Essay Plan GCSE
Description: This is a character essay plan for Inspector Goole (An Inspector Calls), for GCSE English Literature. My exam board was Eduqas, but the points and analysis would be helpful for anyone studying the play. Here I have 5 points (i.e. 5 paragraphs), with quotes and analysis, including literary devices and audience responses. There is much more detail in this then you would need for an exam, but it helps give you options and is especially helpful for my exam board, where you are given an extract, so this gives you some flexibility! I used essay plans like these for my GCSE Mocks and achieved a level 9.

Essay Title​ - How is the Inspector presented?

Didactic

Authoritative

Omniscient

Blunt and Caustic

Wryly Sardonic
Paragraph 1​ – Didactic
OVERALL –​ Teaches the characters a lesson to impose Priestley’s views onto the younger generation and audience

‘We often do on the young ones
...
We are members of one body
...
Enforces his power differently to Mr
...
Birling who rambles in long monologues to take control

‘(Cutting in massively)’ ​[and other variations] (1,2,3)

Taking control of situation – happily interrupts to get his point across

Mirrored in the other characters – didactic and has a big influence

Repetition throughout play – he is unchanged

‘Don’t stammer and yammer at me again, man
...
’ ​(2)

Temporarily drops his façade of calm professionalism

Imperative verb (‘don’t’) shows him being direct

Speaks to Mr
...
e
...
Remember that
...
’ ​(3)

Talks at length for one of the first times – contrasts mostly monosyllabic inputs earlier on – THIS
IS IMPORTANT

Declarative sentence – very matter-of-fact – No sympathy at all, wants them to feel guilty

Short phrases and imperatives for impact – EMPHATIC

‘It’s my duty to ask questions’ ​(1) – Shuts down argument quickly

‘You needn’t give me any rope’​ (2)
AUDIENCE RESPONSE – ​Reinforces the idea of the Inspector as an omniscient and unbiased narrator of the story
...
You have no hope of ​not​ discussing it’ ​(2)

Manipulates Mrs
...
Birling’s ignorance

Dramatic Irony – if the Inspector represents Priestley, does he count as a character? And if he
doesn’t then his knowledge is dramatic irony – Inspector knows the young man is Eric
AUDIENCE RESPONSE ​- Makes Birlings question themselves and, by extension, the audience
