How does priestley present ideas about social duty in an inspector calls?

Priestly’s goal, through the device of the young woman’s suicide, is to demonstrate to the family and the audience that any action taken “voluntarily” is an action taken in context of the person’s lived experiences. This is not to say that Priestly argues that there is no free will, but rather that he argues that one can influence an act, even a murder, without realising that one is doing so. As such, Priestly suggests that it is our moral and social duty to help those in need, rather than compound their suffering with actions or, even, indifference. This is a concept brought out in page 8 of Alan Norrie’s “A Critique of Criminal Causation” (the modern law review, Sep. 1991, pg 685-701) as such, “The girl’s suicide is ‘voluntary’, but it is still caused by the acts of the family, so that no special finality is given to her actions. ‘Voluntariness’ loses its special character when a broader view of events and actions is taken.”

English student at Cambridge University

I am currently studying English at the University of Cambridge. I have always found teaching to be rewarding and started tutoring as a volunteer for GCSE Foundation Maths students. I have previously tutored primary school children in both English and Maths. I have also helped state school students in preparation for Oxbridge admissions, specifically English. Currently, I volunteer as an English tutor for disadvantaged students living in West London. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading and writing. I understand that students have different needs and learn through different methods. I am willing to find what works best for the students I work with - whether it be through condensed revision, exam practice or anything else. When preparing for my own English exams for both A-Level and GCSE, I benefitted massively from making mindmaps/essay plans; I still have these so can share them as examples.
