Mr Birling Shows Men Audience Told Eric Advantage

Text The audience is told of how Eric took advantage of Eva when drunk, how Mr Birling forced her out of work for voicing her opinion and of Gerald’s loveless. 
This shows the men to be callous in many respects and to be exploiting women. .
However, Eric’s remorse also shows how Priestley believed if the men and women all realised the need of change with regards to attitudes to women, things would become better for everyone. However, Mr Birling not changing his views creates tension and conflict between these two characters.
