AN INSPECTOR CALLS: Complete Essay Plan That Fits EVERY Possible Question

Guys, welcome to another video. You've got me to everything English. Now, McBth is done. Romeo and Julia is done. Jacqueline Hyde is done. A Christmas Carol is done. And now we do probably the second most popular play in the entire country after McBth. Today guys, we do an inspector calls. Now, an inspector calls is very different to the last four essay plans. Why? An inspector calls guys, we have no extract. So in paper two English literature they're not giving us an extract which means if we haven't learned our quotes and our analysis guys we are cooked for the day like we literally can't write anything in the exam because we can't rely upon the extract. However in my opinion I've always said that not having an extract is a good thing for those students who've done their revision. Why? There's no variables. There's nothing that we don't know about. We know we're going to get two questions, one character, one theme. And we know we are in charge of all four paragraphs. As long as you've done your revision, as long as you've learned your quotes and your analysis on the day of your exam, you are in charge of which four quotes you put forward. Now, inspector calls guys, you've got Mr. Berling, Mrs. Berling, Gerald, Eric, Sheila, and Inspector Gouls. Those are your characters. Then, when it comes to themes, you've got class. So, capitalism, socialism, responsibility, you've got gender, masculinity, patriarchy, the role of women. But that's the world of the questions that exist for an inspector courts. So, what we got to do is we need to make sure that the quotes that we look at in this video can link to all of that. And guys, you know by now, you've been here for the ride. You've been through all the other videos. You know that's exactly what we're going to do. I'm going to present to you today guys eight quotes from an inspector course and I'm going to show you how you would link all eight quotes to lots and lots and lots of different exam questions. And I hope guys by now you've realized it's not about the quote, it's what you do with the quote. So I'm going to show you how you take very commonly used simple quotes but turn them into grade nine analysis that we can link to pretty much any GCSE question. All right guys, let's switch over to the board. But before we switch over to the board guys, I nearly forgot. If you or your friends or your family or anybody else you know ever needs classes guys for English, maths and science, do head over to everything education.co.uk guys. It is my business. I started it a couple years ago. We do classes for English, maths and science. I teach all of the English. Uh we cover all the books for English lit. We do all the language AQA and Ed Excel. We do maths, we do science, we do everything. So guys, if you ever need any of the classes, do check out everythingucation.co.uk and do check out the Everything Education app available on the app stores and available from everythingucationapp.co.uk. All right, cool. Let's switch over. Everything education tuition for maths, English, and science. These are the eight quotes that I feel as though are the best to use for our exams. You've got unsinkable, absolutely unsinkable, well-b bred young man, quite young, pretty, fireblood, anguish, girls of a class. A man has to make his own way, look after himself and his family. We are members of one body, and she was a good sport. These are my top eight quotes for an inspector calls. Now, for each court, as you're going to see, you've got language, structure, form, and you've got context. Now, let's just go over an inspector calls as a play. And inspector calls the guys was written by JB Priestley. It was published in 1945 but it was set in 1912. This is important because JB Priestley knew what happened over those last 30-ish years. So he used that in this play and that links beautifully to this first quote. This first quote guys unsinkable. Absolutely unsinkable. It is said by Mr. Berling in act one of the play and he says this before the inspector arrives on the scene. He says this when he's talking to his family and he's talking about the Titanic. And as we know the Titanic allegedly hit an iceberg and it sunk deep deep into the ocean never to be seen again. Now Mr. Berling is there and he's talking to his family and he's saying, "Guys, this ship, the Titanic, is absolutely unsinkable. It's unsinkable." Absolutely unsinkable. Now, off the bat, the audience who are watching the play, they are aware that the Titanic sunk deep into the ocean. We as a reader are aware of what happened. So when Mr. Berling says this, he looks like a bit of a fool. He looks like a bit of an idiot. But that's not what we're going to say in our exam. That's a grade one analysis. How do I need you guys to interpret the quote unsinkable? Absolutely unsinkable. Guys, this quote shows you the mindset of Mr. Berling, the mindset of Mrs. Berling, the mindset of Gerald, Eric, Sheila. It shows you how these people thought how how are we going to analyze this quote guys? First things first I want you guys to look at this quote as symbolism. What is symbolism? Symbolism is when words or objects have a wider meaning. So for example since co whenever I see somebody wearing the face mask I get PTSD. This is symbolism. It's when objects have a wider meaning. When you see a big M in the sky you think of McDonald's. Doesn't matter where you are in the world. That M is a symbol of burgers and chips. It's a symbol of McDonald. Now, what was the Titanic? A symbol of guys. The Titanic was a symbol of money, of wealth, of status, of progress. The Titanic, if you were on that ship as a passenger, you were doing well. So, you had people like Mr. Berlin saying, "Ah, look at what we're doing. Look at how we're advancing. We are doing so well. Capitalism is doing so well. Let me give you a modern day example. You've got people like Elon Musk trying to go to space. I don't know about you guys, but I can't afford a ticket to be a passenger on those little spaceships or whatever you call it because the tickets are too expensive. there's a certain type of person that will be joining that adventure. That was how the Titanic was. The people who were buying the seats were rich and the workers were poor. The ship, the Titanic was a symbol of capitalism. So now when you read that quote, but you read it with the lens of the ship being a symbol of capitalism, you're going to view it in a completely different way. Now when Mr. Berling says unsinkable, absolutely unsinkable. He's almost challenging people. You can't defeat capitalism. The rich will always be in charge. The elite can never be touched. We are here. What will you do about it? We are unsinkable. Absolutely unsinkable. And guys, that still happens till today. Look at the whole drama around the Epstein files. For one week, everyone on Tik Tok and Instagram was talking about Epstein, Epstein, Epstein. What happened? Nobody got locked up. Nobody was held accountable. We Everyone said, "Oh, Bill Gates is in the files. This person is in the files. That celebrity is in the files." What happened? Nothing. Because the rich still live with the mindset that they are unsinkable. Absolutely unsinkable. Donald Trump was in the files and that guy still run the country in America. But guys, this idea of capitalism, rich elite people believing that they are untouchable, that's what this quote is talking about. However, here is where Priestley kicks Mr. Berling in the nuts. How the Titanic wasn't unsinkable. The Titanic drowned deep into the ocean. But what did it smack into? It smacked into an iceberg. So this quote is also foreshadowing because someone's coming, guys. Our iceberg is coming. Who's coming? The inspector. So this quote is also foreshadowing to Mr. Berling. Dramatic irony. Dramatic irony. You're not as special as you think you are. You're not as powerful as you think you are. The Titanic wasn't as amazing as you thought it was because that drowned into the ocean and you're going to drown. And who's going to drown you? Is going to be the inspector. And what is the inspector a symbol of? He is a symbol of socialism, the opposite of capitalism. So guy, this quote is an amazing quote. Firstly, what did they show us about capitalist people like Mr. Berling, like Gerald Croft, like Mrs. Berling? It shows us that they believed that they were untouchable. That's why they do what they do. That's why they behave the way they behave. Guys, I even argue, you know, people say that Eric and Sheila are not capitalist. I don't know if I buy that. They're a bit one foot in the door here, one foot in the door here. They're a bit all over the place. So, for example, when Eric allegedly rapes Eva Smith, he doesn't he didn't care about his con the consequences of his actions. He was selfish. He was individualistic. He knew she ain't got a chance against me. I'm a rich, powerful young man. What's she going to do? When Sheila Berlin gets her sacked from Milwoods again, she was selfish. She knew, I'm going to use my dad's influence. I'm going to use our money and our status against her. So this quote, guys, it shows you the mindset of the entire Berlin family and Gerald Croft. They all believed that they were unsinkable. Absolutely unsinkable. And this made them powerful because of their wealth. This made the men powerful because of their gender. You get somebody who's rich and then you get a rich man cuz they are untouchable. That is why these people they lived as though there were no consequences of their actions. So if you get a question about any of the characters Berling, Mrs. Berling, Gerald, Eric, Sheila, talk about how these characters believed that they were untouchable. They were not to be held accountable because they believed that themselves and their beliefs were unsinkable. Absolutely unsinkable. And that is what makes the expression of gender so destructive. That is why Gerald treats Eva Smith the way he does. That is why Mrs. Berling and Eric treat her the way they do. That is why Sheila treats her the way she does. That is why Mrs. Berling does what she does. Now, how could you link this quote to the inspector? Guys, it shows you the power of the inspector. This quote shows you the power of the inspector. The inspector is the one that drowns capitalism not by himself. It's a metaphor. He drowns it with socialism. The inspector is here to challenge these beliefs. The inspector is here to challenge capitalism. So this is a nice lovely quote guys. It links to everything if you analyze it like that. Now quote number two. This is where is it? This is a nice nice nice call. But let me ask you a question. Have you ever seen King Charles wearing a Nike tracksuit? Have you ever seen Prince William or Prince Harry driving a golf GTR? Why? Why will you never see those people doing that? Because it doesn't fit with the life they want to portray. It doesn't fit with the image they've created. Do you know why? All the royal family and a lot of the world's rich elite people, they've been wellbred young men from a very very young age, their life has been planned and groomed and orchestrated. So from the schools they go to, from the clothes they wear, from the way they walk, from the way they talk, from the way they wave, from the way they smile, from the cars they drive, from the people they hang out with, from the places they visit. Everything has been programmed. Everything has been bred. Everything has been orchestrated. They don't have freedom. Look at all the uproad that happened. Which one was it? Was it Harry or William? But the one that got married to Megan, you know, the American lady. But look at all the upro. Why? Maybe because he didn't tow the line the way he was supposed to tow the line. Guys, this idea of breeding humans, it has existed in the rich upper class elite for centuries. And this then flips it. People think that if you've got money, you've got power. If you've got money, you've got freedom. Do you really? You kind of feel sorry for them because from a young age, they've had no freedom. They are powerless. They've been imposed into a world. So, son, you must dress like this. You must walk like this. You can't talk to him or her because they're not of the same class. When you get married, make sure you get married somebody like this. Everything is planned for them. Everything. Now what's this quote about? This quote is talking about Gerald Croft. Now Gerald Croft is rich rich. Mr. Berling is first generation rich. He's the first person in his family to make it. Gerald is generational rich. He's old money. His dad's rich. His granddad's rich. So Gerald Croft, guys, comes from a very rich, powerful family. But with that comes some negatives. Gerald Croft, it says here, was a well-bred young man. Now, when I think about breeding, I think about animals and how animals from a young age are trained, sit, stand, eat. They are bred to be a particular way. That analogy here is used for Gerald Croft. And this is one of the rare quotes that you can use to talk about how because a typical constant argument theme that runs throughout an inspector calls is that money makes you powerful. Money gives you freedom. Money is all that matters. Capitalism, capitalism, capitalism. But this quote goes against all of that. This quote shows us that money takes away your power. Money takes away your freedom. Money makes you a victim to whoever you are being imposed on to buy. So Gerald is a victim to his family. Guys, to the point you can argue that Gerald Croft can't even love who he wants to. When in act two when they ask Gerald, "Did you love Eva Smith/ Daisy Renton?" The guy doesn't reply. The guy stays quiet and then he says, "I didn't feel about her the way she felt about me." He still doesn't answer the question with a yes or a no. Now guys, the point isn't did he love her or not. The point is there is no way in hell Gerald Croft would be allowed to love Eva Smith, Daisy Renton. His parents are not even happy that he's marrying Sheila Berling. That's why they're not at the engagement because what does Mr. Berling say Mr. Berling says to him I feel as though your parents think you could have done better and we are arguing that bloody Mr. Berling is rich which powerful but Gerald's family are not happy that he's marrying Sheila Berling and then this guy is running around with David Vent and Eva Smith. Guys, Gerald Croft couldn't even love who he wanted to love. This quote guys shows you the dark side of money, the dark side of capitalism, the dark side of patriarchy. Yes, those those things give you societal power. Meaning when you're out and about, people will respect you. Oh, Mr. Croft, how you doing? Come sit down. Oh, Mr. Berling's here. Take a seat. It will give you respect in the world, but inside you, it doesn't bring you happiness because you can't do what you want. You can't be with the people you want to be with. You can't dress the way you want because everything is programmed. Everything is is fixed from a very very young age. Now, you can argue this is where the conflict in the Berling family begins because Mr. Berling tries to to to to control and program and breed Sheila and Eric in a particular way, but it doesn't work. It doesn't work. The Berling family has no love, has no affection. They're just a bunch of rich people living in the same house, but there's no connection as a family. Look at what Eric says to his dad. You're not the kind of father a chap could go to. Look at how Sheila Berling reacts at in act three towards her parents. But notice there's one character who doesn't blow up. There's one character who comes back and is kind. There's one character who's who's who's towing the line, and that character is Gerald Croft. When Gerald Croft comes back in act three and he finds out about what's been happening while he's been gone, he never says, "Oh my god, Mrs. Berling, you're disgusting. Oh my god, Mr. Berling, how dare you?" He tosses the line because he's been bred to tow the line. Guy, this quote, it shows you, let's say you got a question about the inspector. This quote shows you how badly we need the inspector. We need Inspector Ghoul. Inspector Ghoul is here to set you free. Inspector Ghoul is here to remove the chains of capitalism, to remove the chains of patriarchy. How could you use this quote and flip it for the other characters? Gerald's the easy one. Gerald Croft is a victim. Sheila Berling is a victim. Um, Eric Berling is a victim. What are they victims of? They are victims of the capitalist patriarchal society that is being imposed down onto them. But guys, this quote is a nice quote. Both of these quotes are very good quote because they show you, this one shows you how powerful they thought they were. And this one shows you how hard they tried to hold on to that power. Now guys, the next quote, I keep saying my favorite quotes. The next quote this year has become I reckon my favorite favorite quote. This quote, the way I look at it now for me is probably one of the best quotes in the entire play. This quote, guys, is Sheila Berlin. Now, Sheila Berlin in act one when she finds out that Eva Smith has committed suicide, a normal person would say, "Oh my god, is she okay? What happened? Can I do anything to help? I can't believe this. My prayers are with her. Something like that. Right. This girl says, "I need to ask you a question, Inspector. I know a girl's killed herself. I know a girl's committed suicide. I know she's drunk bleach. But I have a really important question to ask you. Was she good-looking and pretty? And was she young? What is going on here? Imagine somebody has just died, guys. Imagine, try this one day. You're going to get slapped in the face. Somebody has just died and the question you ask was, "Was she good-looking?" Can you imagine guys doing that? When someone tells you that somebody has passed away and the first question you ask is, "Hm, how pretty were they?" Guys, you're going to get slapped so hard you won't know what day it is. And then she doesn't stop there. Then she says, "Was she young?" Now, why is this important guys? This quote for me is an amazing quote. If you analyze it this way, Sheila Berling guys, everyone loves saying Sheila Berling changes and Sheila Berling is the light in the play and Sheila Berling is amazing. What? Wait, which Sheila Berling are you talking about? Sheila Berling in my opinion in act one at least is a female capitalist. Use that point. Sheila Berling is a female capitalist. What do I mean by that? Mr. Berling, Gerald and Eric, they are the male capitalist, right? How do those characters define the value of a human? They do it based upon. Firstly, are you a man or a woman? If you're a man, by default, you have more value. Then they check, okay, how much money do you have? If you if you haven't got a lot of money, then you're over here. If you've got a lot of money and you're a man, you're very, very valuable. So, they define the value of a human based upon his gender and the amount of money he has. That's how capitalist men worked. But women were different. For a woman, value wasn't in how much money you had. Value was something else. Because women in a patriarchal society, their value is determined by something different. Let me give you example, guys. If me and a half naked woman on Instagram or Tik Tok made the exact same video, which one is going to get more views? That one is going to get more views. Which women have the most following on Instagram? It's people like Kim Kardashian and I don't know other people like that. It's people who are known for their looks. Because in a patriarchal capitalist society, unfortunately, women are sexualized to the point that they are given value not on their money. Women are given value based upon how pretty they are. And things were the same back then. Sheila Berling, she's almost saying, "Before I tell you how sad I am, let me figure out if this woman needs my sympathy." So tell me, was she good-looking? Was she young? Now, the young part, I'm going to come to later. Let's start with the good-looking part. The good-looking part, guys, shows us that Sheila Berling gives value to human life based upon how pretty they are. She is a female capitalist. That's what female capitalist did. The same way Mr. Berling gives you time if you're a rich man, Sheila Berling gives you time if you're a beautiful woman. And if you're not, she doesn't want to know. So Sheila Berling, whether she knows it or not, whether she likes it or not, Sheila Berling is a victim of the capitalist society because she's become that. She's now judging other women based upon the value that has been determined by a patriarchal capitalist society. So the world has told her that what makes a woman important, what makes a woman valuable is her looks. So when she finds out somebody is dead, imagine she is so brainwashed that that's the first thing she asked. Now what's the young part about? What's the young part about guys? young, it links to the idea of value. Somebody who's old in a capitalist society is useless. Again, whether we like these things or not, it's just facts. In this society, when people are old, people just chuck them into old people's home. They barely go and see their grandparents. They barely go and see their elderly parents. Guys, I remember one of my neighbors, her family would only come to visit her in Christmas all year long because she'd gone past a certain age where this society says that if you're old, you can't work, you can't earn your money, you're kind of a burden because we got to take care of you. So, kind of just get to one side and just wait to die. Sounds really harsh guys, but this is the world we live in and this is the world they were living in. The value of a human being is determined unfortunately by wealth, by good looks, by age. This was a capitalist patriarchal society. But in this quote, where is it? Was she quite pretty young? You want to argue that it presents Sheila Berling number one as a victim but number two more importantly as a female capitalist. This is the woman she became. This is the kind of person she became. So if you get a theme question about gender, you can use this quote. If you get a theme question about responsibility, class, society, divide, this is the good quote to use. If you get a question about Sheila Berling, this is a good quote to use. If you get a question about Mr. Berling, this is a good quote to to use to look at the impact of his mindset. This is the fruits of Mr. Mr. Berling. This is what Mr. Berling has created. And the same link can be made to Mrs. Berling. If you get a question about Gerald and Eric, guys, they're no different. The men also defined a valuable woman based upon how she looked and how young and pretty she was. Guys, this quote, if you get a question though about Sheila, really chuck it in there about her being a female capitalist because this quote really shows you how dangerous society was. Whether you liked it or not, people became indoctrinated by a belief system. All right, guys. Those are the first three quotes. three in my opinion very very very good quotes now this quote guys fire blood and anguish you've got rule of three you've got semantic field of punishment Freud and the id about the dangers of following your desires now this quote is said by inspector ghoul and he says this quote in act three just before he leaves and essentially guys he says to the Berling family that look I'm going to go Huh? Please fix up. And if you don't fix up, then I'm warning you that you're going to suffer in fire. You're going to suffer in blood. And you're going to suffer in anguish. Now, there are two things that this quote could be talking about. One thing it could it could be talking about is hellfire. That you may get away with your sins. You may get away with your actions in this world because technically they commit no crimes. Even Eric Berling, if he raped Eva Smith, rape wasn't a crime in the early 20th century. So no character has actually committed a crime, but they've committed moral crimes, which is why they might get away with it. So the inspector says to them, "Look guys, I'm going to go and fix up. you will be punished for what you've done. If not in this world, you will be punished for it in the hellfire. That's one argument. The other way you can look at fire, blood, anguish is the inspector saying to them and warning them that if they don't stop caring about themselves alone and if they keep chasing money, it's going to cause problems. It's going to cause war. And he could be alluding to World War I in this quote because remember the play was set just before World War I. Now you might be wondering, sir, how does rich powerful people being selfish linked to war? Guys, look at Donald Trump. Look at Iran. Look at Israel. Look at all the things that happening in the world. You've got a bunch of rich people going crazy because all they care about is themselves expanding their empire, expanding their wealth. That's like a real life example to help you understand how the rich people were thinking. Now, how could you link this quote to Berling, Mrs. Berling, Gerald, Sheila, Eric? It's the idea of accountability. It's the idea of accountability and it shows you the need for them to be accountable. Mr. Berling should be accountable for what he done. Uh Eric should be accountable. Sheila should be accountable. Start being accountable. Stop pretending that you did nothing wrong because you need to be accountable to stop this punishment from happening. So use this quote to talk about the importance of accountability. For a theme question, let's say you get a question about responsibility. Again, it shows you the importance of responsibility. Let's say you get a question about class. You could talk about the idea about how the rich upper class people they lived, link it back to accountability, they lived as though they will never be held accountable. And the inspector is the reminder. The inspector is the one that comes to remind them. He almost pulls them on the leash like, "Relax. I know you guys think you're special. I know you guys think you're untouchable, but let me pull you back a bit because one day you will be held accountable and you will be responsible for everything that you've done. So, this is a fantastic quote, guys, to use because it links almost to everything because accountability and responsibility can be linked to all the characters, can be linked to gender, patriarchy, class, everything. Now, let's look at these four quotes now one more time before we look at the next four. You've so far guys, you've got fire, blood, and anguish. You've got quite young, pretty. You've got well-bred young man. You've got unsinkable. Absolutely unsinkable. I genuinely believe, guys, I genuinely believe these four quotes are four fantastic quotes. We've just linked them to almost every single character and every popular theme in the text, and we're only halfway through. So guys, use them, learn them. Now, let's move on to the final four. Every quote is a good quote, but this is a good quote. Mrs. Berling here is talking about Eva Smith, Daisy Renton, but she's not just talking about her. Look at the quote. Girls, plural, right? So, she's talking about multiple girls. She's talking about girls as a group. And she's saying girls of that class, meaning she's saying girls who come from a poorer background. And what she's saying here, guys, is a bit crazy. She's saying that what do you expect? Poor girls. Girls from that background are promiscuous, are behaving badly. So what do you expect? She's almost putting all the poor girls into one category and saying they all the same. But what's the danger of that? Guys, the first way to destroy a group of people is by dehumanizing those people. Just look at the world we live in today. Look at how certain groups of society, certain people are constantly spoken bad about. Oh, that's just how they are. This is what they do. And do you know what happens over time? You stop seeing them and treating them as humans. So when something bad happens, it's like, "Oh yeah, they deserved it because that's just how they are." This idea of dehumanizing people is the first step of justifying your bad behavior upon these people, but it's the first step of their slavery because then they have to put up with everything you do. Now what has that got to do with this? Girls of that class, the rich upper class people, when they looked at the poorer people, in particular girls, poor girls, they almost didn't look at them as individual humans, they didn't look at Eva Smith as Eva Smith. They didn't look at so and so as so and so. They looked at these people as one person, part of a bigger group. And they had already made an impression of this bigger group. And what does this mean? This then meant that they treated everyone from that group like that. And they believed it was okay. They believed we can do whatever we want. It's okay because these girls are just like that. It's their fault. They're the ones who behave weird and they're the ones who dress a particular way and they're the ones who deserve this. It's not our fault. It's not my fault for not giving her money and helping her when she came to my charity. Those girls complain about things all the time. Gerald Croft, it's not my fault for keeping her as a mistress. If she wasn't my mistress, she would be somebody else's mistress because that's just how girls of that class are. Eric Berling, it's not my fault that I got her pregnant. If it wasn't me, it would be somebody else because she was sleeping with men all the time. They make excuses for their actions because they don't see humans as humans. They see humans as part of a bigger group. That is why guys, girls of that class don't just talk about this quote as this shows you that Mrs. Berling views her as this. No, no, no, no, guys. This quote shows you how dangerous society was back then. Mr. Berling, Mrs. Berling, Gerald, Sheila, Eric. They literally believed that they could treat poor people, girls specifically, however they wanted. This quote shows you the danger of these characters, the danger of capitalism, the danger of patriarchy, and the danger of their mindset. Why does it or how does it link to Inspector Ghoul? Guy, this quote shows you how Inspector Ghouls was the only hope for these people. They were b the girls of that class, the poor workingclass girls were up against a big big battle. They were battling something that is very very difficult to defeat. But this court, guys, it shows you the dangers in society. And guys, it's real in the play when Mr. Berling finds out that Eric allegedly raped Eva Smith Daisy Renton, the guy doesn't flinch. But when he finds out that Eric's taken a bit of his money, the guy goes berserk. That's just an example of how they have dehumanized. They have stripped away all humanity from poor workingclass people and they believe they can do whatever they want. They almost play the god of their life. All right guys, next quote is said by Mr. Berling act one is this quote is pivotal in helping you understand what this society was all about. A man has to make his own way look after himself and his family. The order of this quote is very very good. Good in an interesting way guys. The order of this quote is very very interesting. First things first, a man has to make his own way. you got to carve out your own passage. To be honest with you, the first part isn't really bad advice. He genderizes it, which shows us that Mr. Berling believed that men were the providers. Men were the ones supposed to work. But he's basically saying to look, as a man, you're on your own. As a man, you got to figure out your own path in life. Not bad. That's not bad. Is it? That's not terrible advice. But it gets worse when you put the whole quote together and when you understand his mindset. So a man has to make his own way, breathe. And on that journey of making your own way, you got to also only look after himself. You have to only worry about yourself. Now this is where it gets a bit dangerous. In this quote, he's talking to Eric and Gerald. And any other person, right, who says look after yourself, you probably wouldn't think of it as being bad. But here you question looking after yourself at what expense? Does it mean that you completely stop caring about other people? Does it mean you stop looking at the needs of other people and you just do exactly what you want? Yes. That's what Mr. Berling is saying. Mr. Berling is saying you need to worry about yourself and only yourself. You to build your empire. You to grow your bank balance. You can't be worrying about people around you. Now, I'm not here to have a debate about whether this is a good or a bad thing. But this is what he's saying. And right at the end after you've built your empire, after you've built yourself, then don't forget to worry about your family too. Now, anybody in life, if I saw this on Instagram, right, and someone saying build your build your wealth and build your empire, you might not care about it. But when you look at what it's done to Mr. Berling, you realize this is terrible advice. Because in the pursuit of making it for himself, in the pursuit of trying to build his empire, look at what's happened to his family. The family is absolutely destroyed. The family is absolutely dysfunctional. So Mr. Berling, guys, is a clear example of how capitalism is destructive because capitalism tells you the first two, worry about yourself, build your empire. But it forgets your family. It forgets love. It forgets affection. Guys, in act one on the first page in the stage directions, it talks about how the Berlin family have a house, not a home. Meaning they've got a building, a nice, beautiful building with lovely furniture, but there's no home. What makes a house a home? Love, affection, people that want to be there with each other. Mr. Berling hasn't got that. So this quote guy, it shows you the dangers of capitalism. Number one, it's brainwashed him into bering so bad. But number two guys, it makes you forget about what's important in life. The same thing happened to Scrooge in A Christmas Carol. He got so lost on his own pursuit that he forgot to think about what was important. How could you link this quote to patriarchy and gender? Guys, Mr. Berling genderizes the quote. He doesn't say we. He says a man. For him, this is what defines masculinity. A strong powerful man isn't the one that has a nice family. A strong powerful man is a man who's climbed the ladder, built his empire, and then right at the end, yeah, then think about your family. But that isn't the priority. So guy this quote is a nice quote when it because it can be linked wholesomely to capitalism, responsibility, patriarchy, gender, Mr. Berling, Gerald, Eric because it shows you how how this was the mindset that was being pushed upon these characters. Now how could you link this court guys to Sheila and Mrs. Berling guys? You kind of feel sorry for them. Those two characters are not important. They are not important and Mr. Mr. Berling is not ashamed of it. Mr. Berling says it openly. My wife is important, but there's other things that come first. My daughter is important, but there's other things that come first. My son is important, but there's other things that come first. So, this quote, guys, is a lovely quote to use for all those different strands. One we've got, we are members of one body. And this quote is said by an inspector Ghoul and he's talking about how society should function. We are members of one body, guys. You know when one part of your body hurts, the whole body hurts. If I was to prick my finger or break my finger, guys, my head's going to hurt. I'm going to feel tired. I'm going to feel exhausted. Every part of your body works with the other moving. I can't break my arm and then just pretend as though everything is okay. This will affect everything else because the body needs to work together to keep us moving. Now, this quote, guys, is a metaphor for how society should work. The body is a metaphor for society. That all of us need to work together because we're part of the same body. The same way the hand works and this hand works and your legs work and your legs work and your eyes work and your ears work. This is us. We must all work together. Doesn't matter how rich you are. Doesn't matter about your background. We are all in the same body because the body is society. There's not multiple bodies. There's one body and that body is society. We are all inside it. And if one of us isn't going to work, it's going to affect all of us. So all of us must work together. Now the word choice of members is very important. We are members of one body. Guys, when you're a member of something, you must contribute. When you're a member of a gym, you got to contribute. How? By paying the monthly fee. When you're a member of a band, you must contribute. You got to sing, play an instrument, but you can't just stand there quietly. When you're a member of something, you you need to contribute. You need to give something back. So the inspector here, guys, is saying that look, all of us, whether you're Mr. Berling or Eva Smith, Gerald or Eric, every single one of us is a member of the same body. And this body is society. And it doesn't matter whether you're rich, doesn't matter whether you're poor, doesn't matter whether you're male or female. We are all in the same body. We are all in the same society and we all have to pull in the same direction. So, we all need to work together. Now, how could you use this quote in the exam? When it comes to the inspector guys, the inspector here shows us the importance of unity, the importance of destroying the hierarchy of class divide, the importance of destroying patriarchy. All those themes and ideas that existed, this quote shows us how they must all be destroyed because capitalism creates a hierarchy. Patriarchy creates a hierarchy. And what that means is we're no longer in one body. You've got multiple bodies. That's the body for the rich people. That's the body for the rich, powerful men. No one's working together. The inspector says, "Forget all of that. Everyone come together." How would you use this quote, guys, for Eric, for Gerald, for Mr. Berling? It shows you the need for change. All those characters must change. And that is what comes through with this quote. Now guys, last one. This is a dangerous quote, guys. This is a dangerous quote. And you know what's crazy? Nobody even cares that he says this. This quote is Eric Berling in act three, guys. This quote is Eric Berling act three. And Eric Berling when he's talking about uh Eva Smith, Daisy Wenton, it's quite quite a disgusting one, isn't it? He talks about her as being a good sport. And it's patriarchy because of male dominance. Freud and the id because of the idea of following your desires. And it's juxtaposition because this is not how you speak about humans. But what do we do with this quote? Eric Berling guys, he talks about Eva Smith/ Daisy Renton. And he says she was a good sport. And what do you do with the sport guys? You play sports, right? And here he completely strips away any humanity that Eva Smith had and he reduces her to an object that he plays with that he seeks pleasure in that he does whatever he wants to. I know that sounds a bit gruesome but it's true and it's nasty and it's disgusting but that's how he looks at her in this call. Yes, it's bad. But guys, what's even worse is the reaction of the other characters. They don't care. They only care when they find out that Eric has been taking money. Guy, this quote shows you the disgusting nature of some of these characters. how they viewed human life, how they viewed women, how they viewed themselves as being the gods of other people's affairs. How would you use this quote, guys? When it comes to patriarchy, I would make one strong point. Patriarchy plus capitalism plus wealth made men into animals. They reduced you to an absolute dehumanized creature who treated women in a disgusting manner. So patriarchy plus capitalism guys it made you into an absolute animal where you are not responsible where you take no accountability. So that's how I would use this quote for all those things. Now how would you use this quote guys for Eric for Gerald guys? They were the same. This explains why they are the way they are. They've been groomed and they've been built in life. Even Mr. Berling, to be honest with you, the way he treats her and the way he sacks her, they've been viewed and built in life to treat women like absolute prey that they can do whatever they want. So, this is a very harsh, quite a disgusting quote, guys, to learn. Now, when you put these quotes together, if I had to pick four quotes that I would say are my four strong quotes that I could probably link to the most questions, I would probably settle on unsinkable. Absolutely unsinkable. We are members of one body, quite young and pretty, and fire, blood, and anguish. I would probably settle on these four quotes. Now, they can all link with everything, but if you're going to push me to pick my four, I think I can link these four quotes to every single character. To patriarchy, to gender, to capitalism, to responsibility, to accountability. I can link all these quotes. Not that I can't do it with these four. I have just done that. But I just thought I'd give you my top four. Now, guys, what would be my advice? What would I do if I was you? If I was you guys right now, the next thing I would do is write down all of the eight quotes if you haven't been making notes while I'm talking and write down the quotes in the middle of the page. And then you've got Mr. Berling, you've got Mrs. Berling, you've got Sheila, Eric, Gerald, Inspector, Patriarchy, gender, class. Write down all the themes, all the characters, and write down all the ways that I've just explained to you. You will link each quote to those characters, to those themes and then start writing paragraphs. Don't even look at past papers. Just start writing paragraphs. So, for example, how would you link this quote to capitalism? How would you link this quote to gender? How would you link this quote to Mr. Berling? How would you link this quote to Inspector Ghoul? And write and write and write and write and write and write. We have no extract. So we don't even need to go and look at past papers. Inspector Cords, we know these are the characters, these are the themes and we have a multiple choice that we're going to choose one. So it can be very very easy if we do it right. So my advice guys is this. Once you've written down all the characters, all the themes, take these eight quotes and write out paragraphs applying them to all of these as much as you can. In that process, your strongest quotes will rise to the top and the ones that you're weaker with will go to the bottom. And then on the day of your exam, try to lean upon your stronger ones to produce four paragraphs in your exam. All right, cool guys. I will end the video here. The next video, guys, is a good one. We're going to be looking at the top six poems of power and conflict poetry. I'm going to give you analysis, quotes, everything you need. And then we're going to do top six for love and relationship poetry. All right, cool. It's been Mr. Everything English.
