In An Inspector Calls J.B. Priestley has a message to deliver, what :: English Literature

In An Inspector Calls J.B. Priestley has a message to deliver, whatis this message and how does he deliver this message?In the play An Inspector Calls the playwright John BoyntonPriestley, uses tangible people in artificial situations to create thewell-rounded performance, he does this so effectively because thepeople of the time could relate to these situations, setting and theissues raised but could to a fault place themselves in the play with eachperson in the auditory modality becoming an actors.We are constantly kept on the edge, never knowing what to support next.He does this by using many complex dramatic devices in order to givethe correct information to the audience and actors and deliver it withpinpoint timing.
