Mr Birling and Titanic

If the questions on the exam would be about Mr Birling, when he says that Titanic is 'unsinkable, absolutely unsinkable', could I say that the dramatic irony suggests that sinking of the Titanic reflects upon Birling's capitalistic ideology that will be eradicated by Inspector. However, Priestley highlights through this use of dramatic irony that capitalists beliefs are totally wrong and that society should be reformed.

Yeah

yep! exactly that :biggrin:
