To understand the significance of Stage Directions to the play What is the significance of referring to Birling as old ? How does Priestley present the Birlings as wealthy? Think Pink: Money is the root of all evil . To what extent do you agree with the statement?
AO1: What are your first impressions of the Birlings home? Support your response with a quote. The dining room is of a fairly large suburban house, belonging to a prosperous manufacturer.It has a good solid furniture of the period. The general effect is a substantial and heavily comfortable but not cosy and homelike. AO2:Choose two words from the text and explain what they suggest about the Birling family AO3: How is the home described similar or different to your own?
AO1: What are your first impressions of each character and why? At rise of curtain, the four Birling's and Gerald are seated at the table, with Arthur Birling at one end, his wife at the other, Eric downstage and Sheila and Gerald seated upstage. EDNA, the parlourmaid, is just clearing the table, which has no cloth, of the dessert plates and champagne glasses, etc, and then replacing them with decanter of port, cigar box and cigarettes. Port glasses are already on the table. All five are in evening dress of the period, the men in tails and white ties, not dinner-jackets. Arthur Birling is a heavy-looking, rather portentous man in this middle fifties with fairly easy manners but rather provincial in this speech. His wife is about fifty, a rather cold woman and her husband's social superior. Sheila is a pretty girl in her early twenties, very pleased with life and rather excited. Gerald croft is a attractive chap about thirty, rather too manly to be a dandy but very much the well-bred young man-about-town. Eric is in his early twenties, not quite at ease, half shy, half assertive. At the moment they have all had a good dinner, are celebrating a special occasion, and are pleased with themselves.
