Mr Play Birling's Character Development/Changes Birling Changed End

Text Mr Birling's Character Development/Changes
Mr Birling has not changed by the end of the play – he refuses to learn/take on board the Inspector’s lesson.
As a result, the play ends with another phone call and the announcement of a second visit – perhaps from a ‘real’ Inspector.
Priestley may be warning his audience of the dangers of not learning the lesson (of social responsibility) themselves.
