The Relationship Between Eric and His Father in Arthur Miller's An Inspector Calls In my opinion, I do not feel the relationship between Eric and his father is a satisfactory one. This is of course in relation to what I myself think is a satisfactory father son relationship. I derived from the passage that somewhere along the route to his university years Eric lost contact with his father's world. There seems to be little or no interactions between the two and their relationship, if you can call it that has disintegrated so much that they are merely two people who know one another and share residency. The repercussions of this are that Eric is immensely unhappy and has resorted to drink as an escape route from his world. In searching for an escape route, he is with no other respectable aim. Instead he turns to the dives of the town, the infamous Palace Bar. Here, he looks to find sex and drink, which he does successfully and meets Eva Smith who we know dies a tragic death which, may or may not have occurred if it were not for these two very different Birlings, Eric and Arthur. Arthur Birling is not a bad hearted man; he has just become so besotted with his business that business has become his life and his hearts love is focused on business. He feels that money will buy his children all of life's necessities, the school will provide education which he paid for, and the society he lives in will provide manners and social position. It is amazing to think that a man with a family has only two things on his mind, business and social standing. He doesn't, at all see the personal side of life and especially where it is required in this relationship with his son. It is ridiculous how impersonal this relationship is. In Mr Birling's eyes, his son was going to be his heir, take up the head of the business and lead the family on. These aspirations are blown away by the gust or wind which
Mortality, the subject of death, has been a curious topic to scholars, writers, and the common man. Each with their own opinion and beliefs. My personal belief is that one should accept mortality for what it is and not go against it.

In this essay we will be comparing two female characters from different texts and different time periods. We will be looking in depth at Lady Macbeth from Shakespeare's play 'Macbeth', and Sheila from J.B. Priestley's 'An Inspector Calls'.

Death is an eternal mystery and the most controversial subject stemming from human inexperience. Its inescapability and uncertainty can give insights on the core principles and vulnerability of human nature. In Shakespeare’s tragedy Hamlet he skilfully makes use of death as a lashing force to explore the depths of his characters along the way illustrating man’s continual dilemma “To be or not to be”?
Change is an unpredictable and inevitable thing. One cannot know what alteration it may bring but it can, without doubt, be expected said Hazel M, an Honor English student (par.1). Eliezer, the protagonist in Night, encounters change numerous times. One of the mainly considerable changes he comes across, while in the concentration camps, is that of his relationship with his father. Before the Holocaust, Eliezer’s relation with his father was very distant, I will say non existent. Throughout the novel, enormous remarkable changes occurred in the father son relationship between Eliezer’s and his father. To highlight a few, we will discuss Eliezer and his father’s emotional change, the connection between them as father and son, and how their build trust in their relationship. Eliezer’s relationship with his father is quite important as it allows them both to live through the anguish and despair brought upon them. And their love for each other helped them both stay alive during the course of torture that Jews people were put through.
This quote provides details of why the finality in the decisions regarding death may not accurately represent the justice the accused deserves. It augments the ultimate overarching point made by Scheck and Rust-Tierney that we should not determine
Death is one of life’s most mysterious occurrences. It is sometimes difficult to comprehend why an innocent young child has to die, and a murderer is released from prison and gets a second chance at life. There is no simple explanation for this. Though, perhaps the best, would be the theological perspective that God has a prewritten destiny for every man and woman. In J.D. Salinger’s
Written in 1947, J.B. Priestley's didactic murder-mystery, An Inspector Calls, accentuates the fraudulent Edwardian era in which the play was set. Britain in 1912 was inordinately different to Britain in 1947, where a country annihilated by war was determined to right the wrongs of a society before them. In 1912 Britain was at the height of Edwardian society, known as the "Golden Age". A quarter of the globe was coloured red, denoting the vast and powerful Empire and all Britons, no matter what class they belonged to were proud to be British - the "best nation in the world".
