They thought that nothingwas going or could go upon and peace was to be for all. withal becauseof the Titanics sinking, which had little relevance to the play butcould prove his characters arrogance and their unbelievable surenessto be wrong, when they say that the Titanic is Absolutelyunsinkable. Also when a character mentions that fire and blood andanguish is to come, the Birling family shrug it off and act arrogantto the fact that not everything is as well as it seems and that thisis a warn to them if they bother to listen. The basis of the playis a fact that J.B. Priestly uses in all his works, that what oneperson does, doesnt just affect that person it affects everyonearound them too, this is J.B.Ps important concern. Which is what theBirling family stands to learn when they learn their lesson with thedisaster of Eva Smith. As well the time in which the play is set willshow that the following war will also show this point, as what thecountries leaders do effects the whole country and the world.
