9. Eva Smith’s Diary Inspector Goole tells the Birling family that he has found Eva Smith’s diary. Write diary entries for the critical periods of Eva’s life between 1910 and 1912. Take into account not only the events that are revealed during the play but also Eva’s state of mind and her changing moods.

10. What’s her role in the play? Eva Smith/Daisy Renton represents the lower class, in the same way the Birlings represent the upper-middle class. Their treatment of her is a comment on the whole of society at the time.

11. Eva Smith/Daisy Renton As we never ever see this character in the play itself, can she be described as a character at all? Is she even the same girl? Why doesn’t Priestly give rher a voice? Why does the inspector hide the photo?

End of September 1910: Eva Smith sacked – along with four or five others. December, 1910: Eva Smith started at Milwards. End of January, 1911: Customer complained about Eva.
