inspector calls key quotes sheila Flashcards
Oh – Gerald – you’ve got it – is it the one you wanted me to have? … Look mummy, isn’t a beauty!
Sheila can’t make her own decisions – she’s just a child (and a woman) Her reference to her mummy also exposes how child-like she is, while the fact that she shows off her ring and not her husband shows that she is shallow and materialistic
I’ll never, never, do it to anybody again
She shows regret – and repeats a promise to change
They’re not cheap labour, they’re people
She doesn’t see Eva by virtue of how much she costs to employ, she sees her as a person
- You and I aren’t the same people who sat down to dinner here.
Shows that both her and Gerald have changed – Gerald changes back, she doesn’t

She’s now grown up and tells her parents off
It’s you two who are being childish – trying not to face the facts.
The best line to show Sheila’s growth – now her parents are the young ones
