 GradeSaver: An Inspector Calls Essay: How J.B. Priestley Creates Sympathy for Eva Smith in "An Inspector Calls"
Birling tells Gerald and Eric that a man should "look after his own", and not listen to the "cranks" who talk about "community and all that nonsense", it becomes obvious that he has no interest in the welfare of people like Eva Smith.
Birling calls his investigation "absurd", and says that he is "conducting it in a rather peculiar and offensive manner".
The contrast between the Birlings' description of Eva and the Inspector's account of "what was left" of her in the infirmary emphasizes how thoroughly the Birlings have destroyed her life.

Mr Birling started off the chain of events which lead to Eva's death by firing her from her job for asking for a pay-rise and (when the rise was refused) for organising a strike.
Mrs Birling took this offensively, thinking that the girl meant to be impertinent and lost her temper (which could be compared to Sheila's loss of temper) which led her to become prejudiced against her case from the start.
Mrs Birling does not feel at all remorseful for the girl's death and her view fails to change at all during the duration of the play.
