What does Sheila mean by ‘purple faced old men?’ What does ‘reproachfully’ mean? Use a dictionary if necessary. What does Mrs Birling criticise Arthur for? What does this show about her?

How do we find out about the Birling’s link to the Crofts? What is Arthur really hoping for with the marriage? What bad point does Eric introduce about Sheila? Why is this introduced here? How does Arthur define himself? Think about what you know about history. What is Arthur wrong about and why?
