Gerald is not given a very hard time by the Inspector and he seems to have been the kindest to Eva. However, this is a huge deception. Gerald exploits Eva and pretends to grieve for her so that he can expose the inspector. Understand why he is a much worse capitalist than Birling. Understand how Priestley created Gerald so that he could write a feminist play, attacking the patriarchy. You'll understand this and more!

This is a great video resource. My mocks are in a few weeks and this will help alot. Thank you!
Thank you so much you saved my life out of all character I think Gerald is a really hard character. But anyway thank you so much for making my life easier:) and one more thing will this context get me to grade 9??
If you put in 100% you get out 100%
most definitely, and so will evaluation and finding multiple meanings for quotes
A03 is only 6 marks, if you have good language analysis and subject terminology to create good points with meaning then yes.
Will you do one for each character? Also are these posted every Saturday or just a coincidence? love these videos -thank you sm for the effort you put in to them!
Yes, each character, one every saturday till I run out!
where did you find the source that stated J.B Priestley was unfaithful in his marriage? I searched it up but all I found was that he married three times.
I've read online that Croft is said to be derived from the pre-7th century phrase 'craeft,' which translates to craft or skill. It does, however, have subtle connotations. Could one say that Priestley utilises the name Croft to underline the croft family's deception, such as their cartel with the Birlings, and also as a charactonym to emphasise the notion of sophistry?
possibly yh
Your videos are so so helpful!! I'm hoping for at least an 8 in English, so nervous for exams but I'm pretty confident you will help me achieve that.

Any help?
What would be your 3 point thesis on Gerald, For an essay plan? I've come up with: 1. Gerald initially is seen as an honourable gentleman with the inspector not being harsh to him 2. However priestly invites moral outrage through his exploitation of women (Eva and Sheila) 3. Ultimately priestley is displaying gerald as a symbol of capitalism especially in 1945. Would this work? If not what would you suggest?
Yes, it does work very well. But I would add it is also a criticism of men.
We love you in our class, Mr Salles.
I am delighted to hear it! Hope the videos are boosting your grades.
Thank you for this video! It has really helped me gain a better understanding of Gerald. I disliked Gerald before, but I loathe him now. Anyways, thanks a lot for this!
Glad it was helpful!
Will you be doing one on The Inspector? These videos are super useful and informative
Yes, he is coming. New character every Saturday.
Will you lose marks if you only write about one scene in the play? For example when he talks about making her stay in a hotel and his feelings hor Eva, or do you have to write about the play as a whole?
You should always consider the character's arc - how our perception changes through the play. Always include the ending.
Thank you so much once again. I love your interpretations, I love the way you make the play come alive. It is a mystery after all!
Thank you very much!
Sir do you think this is a good way- I am watching all your AIC character videos (making notes and memorising ) plus the themes and then lastly I answer exam questions applying all my knowledge from your videos
I think it is a brilliant way to revise. Let me know how you do in August! Good luck. Thanks for working so hard - it is why I make the videos.
what does the quote "Hear, Hear!" show about Gerald ? And how would you analyse it ?
I wouldn't bother, it is trivial. Deal with the quotations which tell you loads about the character and Priestley's perspective.
well to put it in context, you could say that Gerald is agreeing with Mr Birling's capitalist views, and that he has business focused reasons for marrying Sheila, rather than because he truly loves her.
thx for the help
Make some A Level English literature videos please
5:08 when you said she then tells him so many details …. is that Shiela who told him that?
Eva
how could you put the bit about sophistry into a paragraph?
You would write about how cleverly he deceives people
Sir, there isn't a lot of language and word analysis. How am I going to talk about writers methods and language in my essay?
Methods doesn’t just mean language techniques. Methods is everything the writer does. For example, the stage directions, what he makes the characters say all do, when the characters appear all disappear, how he makes them react to each other. In short, everything is a method as long as you say Priestly is doing X. X in this example, rarely has to be a language technique.
@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish Ok I understand now. Thanks anyways, you've raised my grade from two 3s to two 7s.
Your videos are soo interesting
Thank you for watching so many of them!
Hi sir,
would you be able to give me some feedback on this (unfinished) essay, please?
It's just so I can get an idea of where I'm at in terms of analysis skills. This is an intro and first paragraph in response to an exam question I found, and off the top of my head it asked "How does Priestley present chivalry in an inspector calls."
Thanks so much; your content is incomparable!
You said that Eric said "Well, he inspected us all right" but that was actually Sheila who said it
Good point
@Miles Black My exams got cancelled due to COVID haha. I got a 9 in lit & lang with the teacher predictions though :)
@Miles Black Thank you!
Does this help edxecel?
100%
Not sure if this correct, but could you argue even though the inspector (therefore Priestly) doesn't value infidelity as 'that bad' of a crime, he invites the audiences moral outrage when the affair is a direct exploitation of women as a result of a capitalist patriarchal society, which he wants to abolish? Really not sure if this makes sense or I am just grasping at tenuous links.
That is an excellent interpretation
Thank you
This is a very sussy sussy among us video
Secon,cmon
yay
Ur gay
According to Wikipedia (so not a super reliable source, but still): "Priestley was married three times. He also had a number of affairs, including a serious relationship with the actress Peggy Ashcroft. Writing in 1972, Priestley described himself as "lusty" and as one who has "enjoyed the physical relations with the sexes [...] without the feelings of guilt which seems to disturb some of my distinguished colleagues"."
I find this quote very ironic, as the bit about not feeling any guilt for what he's done eerily reflects Mr and Mrs Birling's lack of social responsibility in the play, which I though was supposed to be what he was criticising! The whole thing seems very hypocritical to me, and makes me resent Priestly, really. I wonder if you could comment in an essay on the flaws in his representation of Gerald based on his own (in my opinion immoral) views towards adultery and treatment of women, or whether that would be going a it far.
Yes, this is very relevant to why he seems select Gerald off so gently.
i love some good gerald slander
First
Nah, Gerald Croft is a gentleman. I would marry him 12 times.
Low expectations or the lure of wealth?
