mrs birling- an inspector calls PLEASE HELP WORK DUE IN 15 MINS!

Why does Priestley include Mrs. Birling in the play? What does she represent and why is it important that she does not change during the course of the play?
Priestley uses Mrs Birling as a symbol to represent the wealthier, privileged classes and their selfish attitudes. She sees the working class as morally inferior. Priestley wanted his audience to despise Mrs Birling and the ignorant social snobbery she represents.

Homework done.

In 1912, women were looked down up and seen as socially inferior to men and are considered their property. Ergo, she supports her husband and their actions in kicking Eva from their employment.
