The character of Inspector Goole is the main character of ‘An Inspector Calls’ by J.B.Priestley, which is set in 1912. The play was written in 1945 and set in 1912 as Priestley believed that 1912 was a very different time to 1945, this is because 1912 was a time that people thought it would never change, such as the inequalities between men and women. Priestley uses the name Goole to represent many key features that are linked to the play such as the name referring to ghoul, suggesting that the…

J.D Salinger’s classic novel, Catcher in the Rye, tells the tale of narrator Holden Caulfield (PBS, 2011). It is clear throughout the novel that Holden’s life parallels much of Salinger’s background, leaving readers to consider the likely possibility that Salinger based his main character in the novel off of himself. For example, both Salinger and Caulfield were sent away to private boarding schools at a young age by their wealthy parents from New York (PBS, 2011). Throughout the novel,…
