He cannot see that he did anything wrong when he fired Eva smith- he was just looking after his business interests. An example of him putting his business first is when the Inspector asks him why he didn’t give Eva more money. ‘Well, it’s my duty to keep labour costs down, and if I’d agreed to this demand for a new rate we’d have added about 12% to our labour costs.’ This shows a clear understanding that Birling only thought about his business and was very selfish towards his work. He wants to protect is reputation. As the Inspector’s investigations continue, his selfishness gets the better of him: he is worried about how the press will view his story in Act 2, and accuses Sheila of disloyalty at the start of Act 3.
Although constant evil swirls around Bruno, he is able to hang on to his innocence, which shields him from the knowledge of the situation he is in, but ultimately leads to his and Shmuel’s downfall. Bruno’s innocence becomes quite apparent throughout the course of the novel. He portrays this childish innocence through his lack of understanding on many of the changes that have been happening in his life. Bruno portrays this quite clearly by asking his father : "Did you do something bad in work?

The points will include how Shakespeare presented Caliban to the audience. I will explore how he is shown as a character and how this influences the audience. One of the main points about Caliban that influences the audience is about Caliban’s appearance, he has often been described as less than human and more of a monster, as a character a lot of his appearance influences how you may think about him, some examples of quotes from the text are “a thing most brutish” or “Not honoured with a human shape:- Here Prospero’s point of view is expressed and the audience is made aware that in Prospero’s eyes Caliban is not that important and a completely different person that doesn’t need to be respected, he treats him badly and insults him so you may think that Prospero needs to treat Caliban better, and not just go on his looks or on the other hand you may think that prospero’s point of view is right and that if he looks hideous he must have a hideous personality aswell.
This clearly expresses that because of his own experience with injustice, Troy is involuntarily jealous of the opportunity Cory is receiving through his scholarship which results in his action of not allowing Cory to participate in sports.

These two characters are often involved in the same conflicts, but are totally unaligned in how they behave as a result. The legal conflict which Nader faces over the death of Razieh’s foetus makes him invest in the idea of clearing his name through the courts. In contrast, Simin fears for Termeh’s safety, and for what the courts might find, and encourages Nader to pay the blood money.
