How does Priestly keep the attention of the audience in Act 1? :: English Literature
How does Priestly defend the attention of the hearing in Act 1? tester calls was set in 1912, it was written in 1945, and wasperformed in 1946. Priestly wanted to show his views, so he created aperformance called Inspector Calls to show that he cares for others,so Priestly maintains interest by using various different devices, andthats what my essay will be about, the various devices that Priestlyused the keep the attention of the audience.

The point of this is, ifany one out of the audience has misunderstood a detailed bit of asentence then he goes back over it but in a different way of saying itlater on, so then that person has understood the whole storyline sofar. Also the storyline is slowly unravelling of the plot, but by theend of act 1 the audience is completely drawn in. The evidence of thisis, the stage directions in the book, the font is different and itsays she looks at him in triumph. He looks crushed.
