THE ROLE OF WOMEN.
Eva Smith has no recourse when she is dismissed from her job on two occasions because, she has no one to stand for her and complain to Mr. Birling. She is of a low status and has had enough of being chucked out of work by people of a higher status than her. She is a strong, determined person with good leadership qualities and a sense of justice, but she can't cope with always being the one to be chucked out. Because of her vulnerability Gerald and Eric use her, even though she knew that Gerald wouldn't marry her because they are of two very different classes she still goes out with him.
Sheila, a typical rich daughter, destined never to work, to be looked after by her father, then her husband to be, is introduced as a silly flirtatious rich daughter. She is not really a bad person, but because she is used to always having her way, she gets Eva sucked, for she sees her smiling when she tries on a dress that everyone had told her would look silly on her. She uses her money power to have her way. When she hears of Eva's death, she is sympathetic, and thinks how lucky she is.
