  • How Does Priestley Create Tension In An Inspector Calls

    1158 Words  | 5 Pages

    Priestley uses sound to create silence and control the tension and suspense in the audience and on the stage. In the exposition of the play, while the Birlings are enjoying the celebration of their daughter Sheila’s marriage with one of Mr Birling’s business rival Sir George Croft: “It’s one of the happiest nights of my life… You’re just the kind of son in law I always wanted” suddenly the “sharp ring of the front door bell” makes Birling “stop(s) to listen”. The audience and the characters on stage immediately become quiet and the dramatic silence starts to build up the tension and the suspense. The word “sharp” can symbolise that the Inspector’s entrance is a shock and is the turning point of the play. Another example is the sound effect of the door when Eric leaves and enters the house.

However, it is the score which moulds this confusion into a sense of tension. The gradual crescendo leaves the pattern unresolved as the notes do not move from D and F. Thus, an expectance of change in sound is created, which in turn influences the viewer to expect a visual change as well. However, there is still no resolution.
