Questions to an inspector calls

            
             In act one we have the exposition: a rich businessman's daughter is going to marry a rich businessman's son and the Birlings are celebrating this engagement in quite a formal manner. In this moment a police inspector comes to investigate a suicide committed by a young girl. During the first act he finds out that this girl was employed in Mr Birling's company and then fired for trying to get more wages. The inspector behaves quite unusual when preventing Mr Birling's son and coming son-in-law from watching a photograph shown to Mr Birling. After finding out the circumstances of Mr Birling firing the girl he finds out that Sheila, Mr Birling's daughter, is also involved in the tragic story of Eva Smith because Sheila had forced another employer to fire Eva again for Eva's not being friendly enough. .

             Answer the questions 1 and 4. .
             Are the aims and methods of the Inspector those of the usual policemen? Explain.
             The aims and methods of the inspector are for sure not those of a usual policeman because a normal policeman would not investigate a suicide case for simply not having enough time for investigating such a thing which is obviously no crime. Investigating a suicide would just made sense if the police considered the suicide not to be voluntary. If that was the case the police would concentrate investigation on the direct circumstances of the suicide and not on the reasons and connections to other people. The second point is that a policeman would never be allowed to be so arrogant towards someone who cannot be guilty (in legal sense) of a crime as the inspector is. The third point which makes the inspector's behaviour unlikely to be usual is that a policeman would never assume that delinquents would make themselves responsible for a crime but they would try to do anything which could let them seem unresponsible for a crime. A fourth reason for my denying that is that a policeman would have to tell them their right of speaking with a lawyer before speaking with the police inspector in case of their possibly being accused of something.
