Tossup
Description acceptable. In a scene, this character “sharply” notes that a young woman “isn’t living on the moon.” At the end of the first act of the play he appears in, this character opens a door and looks “steadily and searchingly” before asking “well?” A man who tries to force this character to apologise for questioning him is told in response that “public men have responsibilities as well as privileges.” This character’s final speech declares that if people don’t learn that “we are responsible for each other” then they will “be taught it in fire and blood and anguish.” For 10 points, identify this mysterious character who interrogates the Birling family about Eva Smith’s death in a J. B. Priestley play. ■END■
