What is Priestley's social message in 'an inspector calls?

What is the coursework question for 'An Inspector Calls' set some time in 2008/2009?

• Please help! I need the question that I gotn set in year 10 (1 year ago), it was about Shelia Birling in 'An Inspector Calls' but not too sure what it was, I need to do it before I go back to school in 2 weeks. HELP PLEASE.

• Answer:

  This is impossible to answer without knowing what system you're in. You may be able to check your school's online website, and you may be able to call the school office and explain that you need the question. They usually have the materials on file. But without knowing what course it's for, no one else can look it up for you. A few common ones are: why was it set in 1912? How does Mr. Birling's perspective change over the course of the story? While you wait for the school to get back to you (and they will, they really do want you to finish this stuff) do the reading with an eye towards the main characters, the setting, and why the story happens the way it does (what forces are at work.)
