The Viva Vlog (a.k.a. Did I pass my PhD?)
Переглядів 3663 місяці тому
Now that I've submitted my PhD thesis, I need to prepare for and then sit my PhD viva - the 'spoken exam' / 'final boss' of the PhD that determines whether I've passed and whether I get to finally call myself 'Dr Liam'. In this vlog, I record how I went about preparing for my viva, chronicle the ups and downs along the way, and conclude with the viva itself: do I pass or not? There's only one w...

    The inspector has no societal or economic class that he conforms to, choosing explicitly to distance himself from class based ideals that the birlings have (the whole I don’t play golf thing) because priestly isn’t just criticising the upper classes, he is advocating for a classless society. Also the idea that Inspector goole sounds like a ghost furthers this idea, as if the inspector is a ghost, in the afterlife there is no class driven society, only alike souls. Similar to ideas in a Christmas carol

    Could you argue that the inspector is above upper class, as if he is the “ghoul” that brings judgement over the higher classes?

    • @DystopiaJunkie
      @DystopiaJunkie 2 місяці тому

      That's a cool idea, but "above" might be a bit of a push. Him wearing a "plain darkish suit" suggests he isn't the Birlings' equal in terms of wealth, let alone their superior, while him being in a skilled professional job probably puts him below Mr Birling (business owner). You could maybe say that he's a "ghoul" that sits OUTSIDE of class boundaries, though, and serves to remind the audience that nobody is "above the law".

    • @DystopiaJunkie
      @DystopiaJunkie 2 місяці тому

      Again, I'm not sure if this idea relates specifically to the characters (maybe at a push you could argue how one setting, one main action, one short time window could represent how the characters are quite "fixed in their ways" at the start of the play), but if you wanted to talk about structure more broadly in relation to characters, you could talk about who does / doesn't change throughout the play, tracking this with a sequence of characters. Aristotle's unities would be more relevant to a question related to how Priestley creates tension: the short timespan and fixed setting arguably makes the play feel quite claustrophobic.

    Shakespeare chooses to present love as a complex emotion to contrast typical romantic love stories of the Elizabethan time and instead leave his audience questioning love near the end. The death of the lovers at the end of the play alongside the now forgiven families was intentional to suggest with love, confict arises and in order to overcome this conflict, a sacrifice is needed. my introduction, any feeback? 😊
