Who do you Think is to Blame for the Death of Eva Smith

Eva died ii hours in the beginning the inspector came. She died because she drank a address of strong disinfectant which burnt her at heart egress. Inspector Goole goes to the logrollings house to confront to each oneness one of them and place responsibility on them. Though the inspector does non tell us it, it is quite obvious that he is in that respect non to find the main culprit but sooner he is there to make the birles see through somebodies eyes of the cut deplete level and chance some responsibility.Each and every one of them, Mr logrolling, Sheila, Gerald, Mrs rotate and Eric, all played a part in Evas devastation and the inspector wants them to realise this and adopt responsibility. Mr Birling holds the big responsibility of kick polish rancid the whole matter, and he was the first to turn Eva outside. Eva Smith was working at the Works which Mr Birling owned. She had been working in one of the machine reveals for all everywhere year and she was a go od worker. She was approximately to be promoted to a leading operator which was a person who was the head of a smooth group of girls.When Eva and everyone else came back from the August holidays they were all restless and asked for a compensation rise. all the same Mr Birling defyd their offer saying he couldnt make up consider it. Eva and all of the other girls decided to go on scoop out which didnt last long. The pitiful affair was over by and bywards a week or two. Mr Birling let everyone back apart from the ring-leaders, who started all of the trouble. Unfortunately Eva was one of the ring-leaders and like the rest, she was flak catcherd. This was the start of the hundred ball effect of events that drove Eva towards killing herself and her unborn child.However Mr Birling refused to accept responsibility for his actions. Sheila was adjacent to turn Eva down, all because of her bad temper. After two months of barely surviving, after Mr Birling fired her, Eva found a credit line at a limit shop. This be energise store was Millwards, which happened to be one of Sheilas favourite dress shops and Eva was very lucky to get a job there. Sheila went into Millwards to try on a dress which both the shop assistant and Mrs Birling were once more(prenominal)st. When Sheila tried on the dress she knew they were right because it didnt suit her and this put her in a bad mood.Eva and the assistant, daughter Francis, brought the dress up from the work room. Miss Francis asked something about the dress and to show them Eva held up the dress as if she was wearing it and Sheila thought it suited her. When Sheila tried the dress on and saw it didnt suit her, she caught sight of Eva smiling to Miss Francis and Sheila interpreted Evas smile wrongly. Sheila became infuriated and was very rude to them. She stormed off to the manager and told him that Eva had been very impertinent.She told the manager that if he didnt fire Eva she would never go near Millwards aga in and would persuade Mrs Birling to fold the family account. This was the next event that let suicide persuade Eva. However Sheila veritable responsibility for her actions and even grieved for Eva. After Sheila compelled Millwards to discharge Eva, Eva changed her name to Daisy Renton to start again. This is when Gerald stepped into her animateness and became one of the main people in her roller-coaster life. Gerald went to the palace Hotel Bar in Brumley because the show in the Music Hall wasnt very scintillant.He first saw Daisy when she was wedged into a corner by oldish Joe Meggarty, who was known as a nonorious womaniser. Daisy saw Gerald sounding at her and gave him a brass which was null less than a call in for help. Gerald told Mr Meggarty that the manager had a message for him. This freed Daisy from Mr Meggarty and his half-drunk and goggle-eyed stare. Gerald took Daisy out of the Palace Bar at once. He took her to the County Hotel and they talked. They met agai n two nights later, not accidently this eon, and he let her move into his friends set of rooms while he was in Canada.He also gave her money to keep her going and visited her regularly. She before long became his mistress after he became the most important person in her life. However in the first week of September Gerald had to go away on a business trip and he broke it off with Daisy before he left. Daisy was very gallant about it because she knew he didnt love her and would never marry her. However this did affect her a lot because once again her hopes had been risen, only to be put back down again. Quite rightly Gerald accepted responsibility and felt bad for his actions toward Daisy.The next person to meet and turn down Eva was Eris. Eris meet Eva in the comparable place Herald met her, the Palace Hotel Bar one night in November. He was there with a few friends and he had been there for a few hours so he was a bit squiffy. He went over to Eva and began talking to her. He stoo d her a few drinks and by the condemnation they left he was rather far gone. He insisted on going to her lodgings. However Eva refused to let him in which made Eric angry and as Sheila had been. He began to threaten her saying he would make a row which would get her kicked out of where she was staying.She reluctantly let him inside. He met her again about a fortnight later, but not by particular date and the events of before was very vague in Erics mind. Eric went home with her again but they talked for a bit this time. They met twice again and Eva told Eric that she was going to have a baby and Eric was in a hell of a conjure about it and so was Eva. Eva didnt want to marry Eric so instead Eric gave her some money to keep her going for a while, until she refused to take any longer because she knew it was stolen.This put Eva into a very sticky situation because the money she had was not going to last her long and she was now going to have a baby to support as well. Eric wished t hat he could have done more and he accepted responsibility. However this did push Eva even further towards her end. Mrs Birling was the final person to turn Eva down and the one who finally pushed her over the edge. After running out of money, Eva decided to go to the Brumley Womans Charity for help. Eva was on her final straw and changed her name to Mrs Birling after Eric.Unfortunately for Eva the real Mrs Birling was the one who took her appeal. When Mrs Birling meet Eva and found out what she was calling herself, she thought it was a piece of gross impertinence and she soon became prejudice against Eva. Eva created a fake story so she didnt tonicity as bad and was sure to get a claim. She told Mrs Birling that she had been married but her husband had deserted her, leaving her with no money. However Mrs Birling began questioning her and Mrs Birling soon broke her. Eva told Mrs Birling about Eric, however she never revealed his name to Mrs Birling.Mr Birling didnt believe her, co d to the fact that Eva used Mrs Birlings name which made Mrs Birling prejudice against her. Mrs Birling used her influence to get the committee to refuse Evas claim. Eva was refused help and was turned down once again apart from this was the last time. Mrs Birling refused to accept responsibility because she feel shes did nothing wrong and only Eva had herself to foot. In conclusion I feel everyone is equally responsible for the terminal of Eva Smith. Even if alone each thing each person did to Eva didnt affect her too greatly, together they caused the death of two people, Eva and her unborn child.The Birling family must have driven Eva so far into depression that Eva believed that there was no point of her child organism born and have to live the life she did. However it may come along obvious that it was the Birling family that was mainly to blame for the death of Eva Smith, but if you look into the background of the novella it is actually the Birlings social class you need to blame. This is because people of the Middle Class in 1912 looked down on the Lower Class and treated them harshly just as they did with Eva. what is more I believe this is who J B Priestly is trying to blame but he has portrayed it through the Birling family.
