An Inspector Calls — AO2 (dramatic methods)

AO2 — Writer’s methods (how Priestley makes meaning)

Zoom-in loop:

• Word/phrase → connotations
• Method (stage directions, dramatic irony, tension, contrast)
• Effect on audience
• Link back to question

AIC methods to notice:

• Stage directions (tone, pauses, lighting, entrances)
• Dramatic irony (Titanic, war, class assumptions)
• Interrogation structure (one-by-one revelations)
• Foreshadowing + tension (the phone call ending)
